Nigel did not know what to think when Romanos started talking in a English accent. What happened to her awesome foreign accent. That was whole lot cooler. Nigel wished he had her accent.

Nigel was so focused on her accent that he almost did not hear her ask the first question of the class. Hmm.. That was a pretty vague question. Well Nigel did know they were down by the lake. So maybe it had to do with water. Nigel raised his and answered

"Are we going to learn how to fight grindylow"

Nigel did know there were grindylow in the lake as well as the awesome merpeople. Nigel had always wished he could speak Mermish. Maybe in the future he would learn it.

Eliza was glad the Professor Romanos was still teaching at least. They'd lost a few professors since she'd been at Hogwarts and she wasn't ready to lose more. She smiled back at Romanos when she returned her greeting.

She looked around her, taking in her surroundings. Well there's the lake...with the water creatures of course, but there's also...wind, water, earth...distractions? She raised her hand to try a more abstract guess. "Could we be learning to deal with distractions in our environment? Or," another thought struck her, "Maybe learning how to continue to defend ourselves when being bombarded by other elements - like if someone tried to push a wall of water at us, or a giant gust of air - we'd have to know how to react to that tactic." That made sense, right?

Brilliant smile flash. FLASH. Amara grinned as she took a seat closer to the professor. "Cool..I was so terrified when Prof.Airey told me you would curse us" she said, as she sat down on the mat. "You know..if we put the toe out of the line.." Yeah. You'll find it at the Romanos class. That's what he'd said.

The class had begun and Amara was as interested in it as she was for Potions. What they'll be learning? Huh? "How about some terrific spells?" she asked, excited. DADA and spells are blood brothers, aren't they?

Michael was still trying to get over the fact that they were doing DADA down by the lake. He had imagined they would be learning defensive skills in a room, like the one his parents had at home, that contained different types of dummies to practice on, foe glasses and sneakoscopes. Stuff like that.

This was just...the lake.

He had been staring out over the water and almost missed the Professor's question as he sat there thinking about all the times he had watched his parents practice without them knowing he was there. He quickly turned his attention back to Romanos and then raised his hand.

"Water demons probably." He said in an almost bored voice. "Such as Grindylows, Kappas and Kelpies." BORING! "Or we could be learning how to use water defensively." That would be more fun.

There was just something about one of the stragglers being the first to raise their hand in the class that made today just that more awesome. "That is a very creative answer." Medea nodded momentarily, though shook her head afterward. "Though not what we're learning today, no."

Oh! Another creative answer. She didn't even think about the giant squid! ...And had no idea what 'techniques' Blue was referring to. Perhaps for a future lesson though? She'd have to check their lesson plans. "I'm sure Bartholomew is fine without our help." Medea smiled anyhow, chuckling lightly. "That is a very good guess though."

Oh yes, there was grindylows in the lake too, wasn't there? Glancing out to the water, Medea squinted her eyes a little at it before turning her attention back to Alexa. "Both outstanding guesses, though neither of which we'll be learning today. Good try."

...

He was certainly a funny one!

"You were right on track with your first guess, Mister Belrose." Good try.

Sniffling quietly, Medea rubbed her nose really quick before nodding. Mmhmm. No, that wasn't anywhere close to what they were going to learn. "Wouldn't that be a fun lesson?" The students becoming the teachers? Oh yes! "But no, unfortunately that's not what we're doing today. I think our lovely Bartholomew knows a few tricks up his sleeve to have lived this long anyhow."

Sniffling a little more, eyes watering somewhat, Medea slowly nodded at the young Slytherin's very excellent guess. "Grindylows dear, yes. Though not exactly what we'll be learning today. A very excellent guess though." They were indeed by a lake filled with them after all.

Oh dear.

"Nazdrave..." Oh, goodness, was there something in the air? She was feeling it herself actually, and trying very hard to keep herself from sneezing. "Excellent guess, Miss Eventide, though no. We aren't going to learn about water creatures today."

.........

Nope, she held that sneeze in.

Taking a deep breath, Medea nodded, only to...

ACHOO!

She wanted to hold that in, but good Merlin, felt so good to let it out. Her eyes could stop watering now. Right? Stop watering! "Yes-" Oh. No. No, holding it...in. There we go. "Yes, thou- ACHOO!... Though- ACHOO! Goodness, excuse me." Rubbing her nose a little, she pinched the sides until the need to sneeze again went away. Merlin, needed some tissues now.

"...though not what we'll be discussing today. Good guess, Mister Keller."

Debating whether or not to summon some tissues, she moved on to the next student who had their hand raised...or not raised. Whatever worked for them. Perhaps she should've chose another area instead of by the lake. It was really throwing off their answers. "Not today, Mister Odgen. Good guess though!"

Oh, goodness. He wasn't a new student at all! What was she thinking before...?

Sniffle sniffle.

Oh? "We are out here for the fresh air, though not because it's cleaner out here than the castle." She paused momentarily, holding down another sneeze while she smiled. "And no, nothing on water demons. Good train of thought though, Mister Odessa."

So, it was Miss Wheatborn who was sneezing?

She'd heard someone while the other students were talking. "Nazdrave." she said after the sneezes seemed to stop. Medea smiled and nodded a little, not minding the interruption. A few of them had the problem today. Herself included.

"An excellent guess, but not what we're learning today."

Oh, goodness...

ACHOOOO!

Sniffle.

Fiddlesticks, this was ridiculous. Perhaps she should've re-thought the whole 'Lets do a lesson outside because it was a nice day!' idea. "Good guess, Miss Bishop, though no, not today."

ACHOO!

Taking another deep breath, feeling the tickling sensation in her nose again, her eyebrows raised somewhat both from trying to keep the inevitable down and at the next answer given. Oh, Mister Kinsley. We know you're more creative than that!

"Why yes. Yes we are. Excellent guess, Mister Kinsley."

Sniffle. Ugh.

That was the second time merpeople were mentioned. "That's leaning a little more towards Care of Magical Creatures. Excellent guess though, Miss Jones." She smiled and nodded encouragingly, glancing to the rest of the class. Hopefully that would steer them a bit in the right direction.

Oh, an answer that didn't have to do with water demons or the lake. She would've been even more pleased to hear so when her own eyes weren't watering from the tickle in her nose. "You're on the right track, Miss Johanson." Medea smiled and nodded.

Another creative answer! Specifically having to do with water and spells, and thank merlin, not water creatures. Some different answers were always welcome. "Not quite..." Her words faded quickly, her expression scrunching up until, "ACHOO!"

For the love of Merlin! She didn't have allergies! "Not quite, Mister Lecium. Terrific thinking though."

Huh. Did that last name sound familiar?

...

Well, that was a fantastic answer, if she did say so herself!

Medea chuckled softly and smiled, sneezing forgotten momentarily. However, she shook her head after a moment. "Not today, Mister Charlton. A brilliant thought though."

...

...

Well, she'll just skip that student for now.

Turning her attention away from the mystery student with the mat over their head, her gaze settled on Marcus. Oh dear, another sneezer? "Nazdrave." She made a mental note to herself to have outdoor lessons only in the summer time. Sniffle sniffle. "As superb and wonderful as that train of thought is, we unfortunately won't be learning how to do that today."

Unfortunately.

Oh hooo! There was a definite correct answer said!

Her eyes were beginning to water up again though, but she ignored it. "We won't be doing anything having to do with water today, but you're correct about stretching and yoga. Most excellent guessing, Mister Yarborough! Well done!"

Again with the ma'am though...

Rubbing her nose momentarily, sniffle sniffle, Medea's attention turned to the next student who spoke up. Oh, yes, Jory. "Good guess, but not today, Mister Stonewall." Sniffle.

Her hand itched to take out her wand and summon some tissues.

Oh? Oh yes, Ronnie. Another seventh year, goodness. "Not today, Miss Hawkins. Good try."

Dueling was starting to become a popular topic, not nearly as much as water creatures were however. "Both splendid guesses, Mister Montomorency. Though neither of which we'll be learning today." UNFORTUNATELY! Didn't they sound FUN though??

Well, at least there was a mention of spells and not water creatures.

GOLD STAR TO SUSAN!

"Not today, no. Excellent guessing though, Miss Bones!"

Sniffling a bit more, she couldn't take it anymore. It was inevitable, no matter how much she just daaaaared it not to happen. "ACHOO!" Ugh, that one...that one was clearing her nose...

Taking out her wand, she flicked it to the castle, silently summoning a box of tissues to her. Oh, Sophie had answered. "Not today, Miss Campbell. A very good guess though." Considering where they were and all. Yes, excellent guess.

...

Eyes still watering a little, and with a post sneeze expression on her face, Medea stared at the young Slytherin. Well, that was certainly a creative guess. Perhaps the most creative she heard out of them all! "I wish, Miss Duvessa." She smiled, chuckling softly. "Very interesting creatures, they are, but unfortunately we won't be learning about them today."

ACHOO!

Oh, there was a mention of kelpies!

"No quite." she said, rubbing her nose a little and glancing towards the castle. Ahem. The tissues could zoom down here any minute now. ANY MINUTE! "Brilliant guess though."

They were allllllllll mostly determined that it had to do with the lake, huh? Perhaps she HAD chosen a good spot. Maybe this could be a lesson! Or maybe she was thinking of excuses. "Not exactly. Good guess though."

The Gryffindor seemed rather confident that this was what they're learning.

Nevertheless, Medea's smile grew as he went on with his answer. That was actually rather sweet. Though no, unfortunately it wasn't what they were learning. "Not quite, Mister Carver." She said, sniffling slightly afterward. Her eyes were watering up again. "Though you're beginning to be on the right track with your last thought."

Sorta.

More water creatures!

"No, not today, Mister Barrington." she said with a sniffle, glancing towards the castle. Yes, any time now, the tissues could...could show...u-up- ACHOO!

GOOD MERLIN!

Oh, how creative of an answer! Medea beamed as she sniffled quietly, rubbing her nose for a second. "A brilliant guess, Miss Dawnsel." It truly was. "You're- ACHOO! ...ACHOO!" Goodness, those came out of nowhere! "Oh, pardon me."

Sniffling, she sighed and continued to try to speak. "Not quite on track with what we're learning today, but there is some part that is correct in what you said. Well done!"

...

Gryffindor first year said what?

Letting that little piece of info slide awaaaay for the time being, she did smile and chuckle at his rather excited attitude with his answer. "Theoretically perhaps. Excellent guess, Mister Kaul."

Oh, this one wasn't going to fall asleep was he?

Making a mental note to keep an eye on him for the rest of the lesson, Medea smiled and shook her head. "Not quite, Mister toussaint." Nope, nooooooot quite. Her hands fiddled together as she sniffled, momentarily glancing back towards the castle. OH! OH WERE THOSE HER TISSUES? She could just cryyyyy, the sight of them made her so happy.



Almost with grabby hands, she took the tissues she'd summoned out of the air. "Pardon me class. Must be allergies or someth- ACHOO!" Or something. She didn't have allergies. ACHOO! Blowing her nose as quietly and quickly as she could so she could get back to the lesson, Medea glanced to most of the class before placing the tissue box in front of her, close to the front row. "If anyone else needs a tissue, feel free to take one." She'd accio more if needed.

Aheeeeeeeem. Alright, back to the lesson. Sniffle sniffle.

"You all had some very excellent and creative guesses, though I must say, the lake really doesn't have anything to do with what we're going to be learning today. It's more for a scenic view." Well, for her. The students weren't exactly facing it. "What we will be learning..." Sniffle. "...is mostly theoretical, about two dark creatures, a bit similar to each other. Dementors and Boggarts."

She paused momentarily to grab another tissue. "Does anyone know how these two are similar?"


OOC: For you sneezers out there, 'Nazdrave' is basically the Bulgarian version of "Bless you".

Hmmm.

What did those creatures have in common?

Gwen didn’t raise her hand right away. Instead, she tried brainstorming for some possible answers. They were both creatures (DUH)… actually… more non-beings. Both inspire fear. Hmm. ‘One of the similarities is that both the boggart and the dementor are non-beings’, she finally said.

Pause.

‘But they can be very alike, since the boggart can take the shape of a dementor…’, she mused. In other words, they COULD look EXACTLY the same. Right? So… they were similar in a lot of ways. Erm. Somehow.

Was Professor Romanos okay? The woman had been sneezing for almost half of the time she had responded to Beezus' peers. "Allergies, maa'm?" If so, allergic to what exactly? The wind? The grass? The view? Well, that was blatantly unfortunate. Beezus hoped their Professor just had colds though. That was better than being allergic to such an amazing view such as the fun they had right now.

....Dementors and Boggarts.

They'll be learning about those two creatures today. In theory.

A practical would've been great though, with the weather being nice to them and all. But she still put her hand up to answer. "Both creatures can be relatively associated with a person's fear, Professor. A dementor feeds on one's fear and a boggart can turn into what that person fears the most."

Ethan had remained silent for the first question.. well not totally silent really. Before he could give much thought as to guessing what they might be discussing in class today, he became very preoccupied with the growing intensity of tickling in his nose. He tried to imperceptibly wipe at it a few times, but the tickling grew stronger until he let out a loud Ahh chooo.

"Excuse me," he mumbled, as he glanced up to the professor who was sneezing a bit too. Um.. what was the question again, he tried to focus but the tickling in his nose was still present. He scrunched it a little, hearing a few more sneezes from a few other near him. Ahh choo, Ahh choo, he let out in the crook of his elbow as he lifted up his arm to cover the sneezing. What was wrong with him today? He glanced to Minerva sitting next to him who seemed to be having the same problem, giving her a confused look and shrug. Maybe they were discussing germ warfare today?

But no.. They would be learning about dementors and boggarts today. Ethan reached up and grabbed a few tissues at the professor's mentioning before thinking over the question. How are the two similar.. besides the fact that they are both dark creatures? Ethan raised a hand, his other holding tissues in preparation for the sneeze he felt coming on. "Dementors and Boggarts both feed off of.. Ahh choo. Excuse me, Professor.. they feed off of human emotion." He wiped at his nose with the tissue. "Dementors feed off of happiness causing depression and boggarts.. ahh choo, ahh choo." Ethan blew his nose with the tissue before continuing. Merlin, this was embarrassing.. he hadn't realized he suffered from allergies. "Sorry.. Boggarts feed off of fear." He grabbed a few more tissues and just covered his nose with them, hoping the sneezing was done for now and glancing around the area for a sign of what he might be allergic to.

Minerva glanced at Susan when she said bless you, "Thank yo Achoo" giving a small smile to show she was alriiii "Aaaaaaccchhhoooo" goodness, this was just getting ridiculous, she had never sneezed this much. Pulling her hands to her eyes she rubbed then all the sneezing had them feeling watery. Making eye contact with Ethan, she gave him a weird look, he was sneezing as well. What the heck was going on..

Trying to answer the question was so difficult with all Minerva's sneezing, "Thank you professor" well she thought she told her bless you, she wasn't really sure with the different language. "Achoo, Achoo" Wow this needed to go away, then she saw the professor with a tissue and she raised her hand, sniffle..sniffle.. "Professor, do you have anymore of those tissues. Achoo" Well she hoped she did anyway.

Putting her hand up again and giving a loud sniffle, "professor, both are considered dark creatures, and both can bring confusion and fear when around. The dementor makes things cold and unhappy, which causes Achoo sorry..anyway fear and confusion, and the boggart brings on your worse fear, which again will bring the fear and confusion. Both doing this to put you off guard Achoo goodness so sorry, but put you off guard so you can't defend yourself." Rubbing at her eyes again and scratching her nose, this was just so weird.

Well, that was truly depressing. Dylan was looking forward to hexing the scales off something. BLEH. He'd let his irritation settle, though...because this was Professor Romanos...and she'd always been a cool lady.

...and she'd just happened to bring up two of his favorite 'creatures' to talk about. Mainly because both had had an active part in helping him to finally cast a patronus. Yep, Dylan was pretty grateful to them both, actually.

To answer her question, though...and to elaborate on what his girlfriend had said..."I think because both feed off emotions...whether they be positive, negative....fear, anxiousness, depression...Also, boggarts can pull a really neat trick and turn into dementors if what you fear is fear itself...." Dylan momentarily put on an ominous voice....."Another thing, laughter and happiness drive them both away...but don't kill them."

...and he was TOTALLY eyeing all this sneezing.

It was a good thing he didn't have terrible allergies.

Daichi looked around him with a slightly raised eyebrow. Why were the Professor and some of the students sneezing so much? Well, whatever it was Daichi didn't caught it...yet.

He had been simply listening to the question because he didn't feel like guessing what they were going to do this lesson. But the next question he did raised his hand in the air.

"A Dementor lives on a persons fear and a boggart IS your fear, so i think that fear is what the have in common..." He lowered his hand and shifted uncomfortable on the mat. They weren't going to deal with one of those right? He really didn't want others to see what he feared...

Quite sniffly, Professor Romanos was. The blonde couldn't help but wonder if there was a spell that'd help clear that up quicker. She also couldn't help but be mildly disappointed that they wouldn't be working with things dwelling in the lake. She quite liked learning about the water creatures.

...

Boggarts and Dementors? Shudder.

Those were two things Ella didn't really fancy discussing since they liked to feed on/toy with your emotions and the blonde normally had an overabundance of those at any given time. She frowned slightly before raising her hand. "Professor, both of those creatures have to do with fear, like Bee said." Nodnod. "The dementor feeds on your happy memories, causing you to relive the worst ones over and over. The boggart turns into that which you fear most. Maybe for some, the boggart might turn into that which is part of their worst memory."

West put his hand up thoughtfully. "Well, after encounters with them, it helps to have chocolate. Like for both of them. Any dark creature really."

Just to be a bit different, even if he knew about the emotion aspect of things.

Were they gonna face fears or dementors? Hmmm.

If anyone sneezed on her, people were getting it, okay? Alice adjusted herself on her purple mat, angling herself away from the allergy people and raising her hand slowly, as to not to startle them into another ACHOO!-ing fit or something. "They both, um, have spells to ward them off." Of course they did, that was OBVIOUS, but she couldn't think of anything else to say that no one else had said already.

So. Yeah. Spells.

"It's Miss.Kaul, actually..." she trailed. How could the woman miss the fact that she was girl. Ofcourse she looked girl enough, didn't see? Skirts and pony tails.....one shouldn't really just MISS looking at others.

Dementors and Boggarts?

She'd knew both of them. YEP. And she'd seen a boggart, uh, her twin's boggart that was. Boggarts really didn't have any shape, did they?

Similarity... "UH...both are dark creatures" Heh. What a great answer. GRIN.

"Erm, both like the darkness...." They did, right? Atleast the boggarts did. She'd heard about the dementors when her parents were talking about their imprisoned distant cousin, all sneaking ofcourse. They wouldn't answer her questions about it...just yet. Maybe she'll learn here.

On the other hand.... the boggart though.....

Nigel was watching her sneeze time after time. It is just like Astronomy with Flamsteed itching constantly. If Nigel did not know any better. He would say that they were pranking each other and it would only escalate. But Nigel has been wrong before.

"Hmm, Bless You and and a boggart can be a dementor if you are extremely frightened of them"

Nigel would never want to meet a dementor. Those things were evil and could suck your soul out.

Mackenzie wasn't too sure if she liked where this lesson was going, she had heard all about dementors and knew that boggarts took the shape of whatever you were frightened of... so they were starting straight with the scary things... she looked around as everyone spoke and began taking down a few notes.

All that sniffle and sneezes. Jory felt sorry for the Professor. "We were way off,'' he thought when she said they were going to learn about Dementors and Boggarts.

What did they have in common? Jory pondered before raising his hand. "They both cause persons who come in contact with them a lot of sadness, Professor.'' A boggart showed them their worse fear and a dememtor practically made them feel they'd never be happy again.

Theo had no idea what a boggart was, but he didn't like the sound of it. As for a dementor, well, he had actually had nightmares about those things. And he couldn't help but think of a certain moment where a vacuum cleaner was sucking his cheek...

He raised his hand, putting yet another one of his vague answers out there. "They're both dark creatures. I don't really know what a boggart is but a dementor sucks out people's souls." He said it as if it was breaking news that he was sharing with everyone.

Uhm. Dunno. Since everyone was already talking and giving out all the possible answers to Professor Romanos' question, why would Kat bother to repeat the same thing twice or thrice even? Kat sat there and listened to all of their answers, and to the replies of the professor in front. Yep, they had her full attention... that is, unless she got bored and probably fall asleep but that was a bit unlikely since Defense Against the Dark Arts was a really interesting subject. Erm... yeah.

Ah, an interesting question. The similarities of a dementor and a boggart. Kat bit her lower lip, thinking about her OWLs in this subject last term. Oh... god. It was horrible, having to face her boggart at the end of that maze. Staying silent for a few seconds, she shook herself back to reality. Er... yeah, the question. Of course, people were right about the fear thing and the fact that they have a weak spot for happiness and laughter. Were they learning boggarts and the patronus charm?

Because honestly, Kat would rather learn the patronus charm than boggarts. Her Defense Against the Dark Arts OWL was already a pain to her and she would never want to face it again. Like ever. Remind her to go with a friend whenever she needed to pass by a nearby boggart anywhere. Ugh.

RIGHT. The question. Kat was being taken away. She raised her hand up to answer, but you know she agreed with everyone else. "Dementors feed off the happiness of people, which would cause some sort of sadness if someone comes near them. Boggarts, on the other hand, take the form of whatever a person fears the most." Pause. She needed to breathe. INHALE... EXHALE. "I guess their similarity has something to do with fear... and that they both are amortal." She was done. There you go.

A portion of the class was sneezing and Professor Romanos was talking about boggarts and dementors and Ezra was inclined to stand up and leave. He was disinclined to have everyone think he was rude or a coward or a rude coward, though, so he stayed right where he was and raised his hand.

He did, though, visibly edged away from a neighbor student and their continuous sneezing. For all he knew, it was contagious.

"They are both quite awful!" A similarity he noted had been alluded by his classmates though not explicitly stated. "Dementors more-so than boggarts, of course - although I s'ppose that depends on the person facing it."

The young girl smiled at the teacher and was not disappointed that her answer wasn't right, it was a guess after all and she had knew that it was not correct. She would have been surprised if she had it right, but she wanted to show the professor that she was paying attention to the class and that she wanted to learn. While Sonea listened to the answers from the others she looked a little suprised, they were sitting next the lake, so it could be a water creature.

But after a few minutes she learned that it was also not a water creature where they would learn about, but Dementors and Boggarts! Sonea had heard a lot stories about them, her maid had scared her once when she was still little that if she would leave her bed when she needed to sleep that a dangerous Boggart would grab her! Sonea had been so scared that she almost was too afraid to go to her bed. Eventually had her maid told her that it was just a story and that there was no Boggart under her bed. Sonea had been SO angry at her maid! She was still ashamed about her fear for the Boggart, but she had been very young when that happened...

She also knew what a Dementor was, but she didn't knew why they were similar to each other, the only thing she could think of was that they liked dark places... And because she had no other idea she answered. The young girl raised her hand again and spoke hesitating, "I think that they both like dark places" said Sonea and sat back down.

Richard smiled at the woman right after he got seated. It was a great idea to have a class on the grounds. He liked fresh air and the weather was nice; neither cold nor too hot. The smile still on his face, he looked around and to the lake a bit and turned back to the professor when she asked him a question. How was his summer? ''It was great.'' he said. He had spent time with Aurora almost all summer. ''I worked for a couple of weeks then went for vacation.'' Not that he needed money to work, not at all, actually his family did not want him start working before he graduated but he was already older than students here and he thought he had to start asap.

Shifting to a more comfortable position on his mat, Rich watched the other students as they arrived to the place. He loudly snorted out a laughter when he heard that new guy in his house tell the professor how she looked lovely. *snort* What a weak attempt of flirting. It was funny how he told the same thing to every female professor. Could not he find any other words to utter? What a rookie.

When the professor spoke though, he turned back to her and...blinked. What they would be learning today? How was he supposed to know? Something about the lake? Yet he could not see anything dark with the lake unless it had dark creatures living in it. And its name was the Black Lake. Well...no. He had no guess.

And he started to feel irritation in his nose for some reason now.

Excellent and creative guesses. Yeah...no one could say that he was not creative because he did not throw out a guess. No way. The Slytherin sniffed and rubbed his nose. The irritation started to get worse. Ugh...what was this. Suspiciously, he looked around. Were there any big flowers or something? He was allergic to something in the big flowers. But nope, he could not see anything of that sort around.

ACHOO

Oh no...there he started. This was going to harm his handsome face, it was sensitive and his nose quickly became red and his eyes watery. Okay try to concentrate on the lesson not the irritation. Dementors and Boggarts. Alright, the answer to that question was simply.

''They are both...'' he began yet...ACHOO ''Good Merlin! They are...'' ACHOO...

Was he dying? If only he could find what stirred his allergy.

*sniffle*

Garrick smiled at the Professor... seems she recognized him after all. Mhm. Raising his hand he said, "Well they both have to do with fear, don't they? While the boggart turns into what one fears the most the Dementor kind of... makes you feel nothing but fear of sorts. I mean, you feel no happiness during a Dementor attack." Or something to that effect.

And WHY were they all sneezing? Just to be on the safe side Garrick pulled his shirt up over his nose and mouth. They could all be contagious and spreading their disgusting germs at the moment. ICK!

jdfgjlfbldfgd!!

No. Way.

They were learning about THOSE two! Eeeep!! Much better than her guesses. Much MUCH better. Plus, it seemed like the class was getting back to things she actually knew--

theoretical?

...

......

.............

Forgive the zoning for a minute but she'd hoped her wand would get some exercise she was hopping to see at least one of them. Granted, she was still slightly bouncing on her mat but the theory almost killed it. Almost. This class wouldn't die for her, OKAY??? Especially not since she READ stuff over the summer. Yeah, she'd be on that for a while. It wasn't everyday that she picked up a book you know.

She raised her hand and was waving it about too. "They both feed on a person's emotions with the dementor feeding on happiness and happy thoughts while the boggart goes for fear and they can both leave a person scarred for life if you don't know what you're doing. Also, like West said, it's good to have chocolate around for them." See that??? Huh, everyone telling her to lay off the chocolate????
