Default Seminar I

SPOILER!!: Seminar Topic


The highly anticipated Quidditch seminar, led by all star athlete Colin Mackenzie, and well-advertised around the school, was supposed to be held today. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts and his tightly packed schedule, Mackenzie has been replaced by four of Hogwarts' more familiar speakers. All his posters have a big red CANCELED sign stamped over them, and the professors replacing Mackenzie --- Botros, James, Romanos, and Truebridge --- have a most serious expression on their faces as they stand in a line at the front of the spare room off the Great Hall.

Come in, have a seat on the floor (there are cushions around, don't complain), and get ready for an interesting.... lesson.

Pressing the green button for the previous question, Forrest listened to some of the expressions, then resolved to sulking of his own. Obviously, a Quidditch player would be much, much more enjoyable than this. Oh well. Back to pressing buttons.

He didn't even have to think that one, and pressed green quickly. To draw attention and get help, he wanted to reason, but he was too cowered to speak, so... let others explain.

Phew! Though, Sky felt a little sorry for those dumb enough to press the red button. Especially for Alexa, who'd pressed it repeatedly. She wouldn't be surprised if the Gryffindor's hair was standing on end by the time this little lecture was over. As for the statement, since when did screaming help anything. She hit the red button this time and waited to see who would be dumb enough to press the green one.

Seriously? West looked around at the zapping. Obviously that was gonna happen. Didn't these people read things about behavioural modification or was that just him? Just him? Okay.

.... next question? West pressed the red button and again didn't bother trying to justify it or read into it. It would NOT help, therefore.... red.

.... was it about the Head Girl? Maybe. Maybe if the word 'screech' had been used instead...

Nerida held on to her aching hand. Ouch! She did not like being zapped at all!! Next time she would just answer the question no thinking into it at all!!! Screaming never helped anybody unless someone was trying to kill you then it just might help you. She pressed the red button and looked around to see who the unlucky people were that pressed the green button.

Yea...........Dylan had pressed his green button...but maybe he hadn't pressed hard enough. Huh...He stared down at the two different colored buttons with disdain. Was everything they gave out these days defective?

Not thinking much on it, he heard the next question and snorted. Slytherins didn't scream and shout. They were able to remain cool, calm, and collected when thrown into stressful situations...It was a mark of their House.

He pressed the RED BUTTON more firmly than he had the last.

Hopefully this thing would work now...

Teachers weren't allowed electrocute students right?!

They were making this day even worse.

No Quidditch seminar and now they were zapping students' fingers off.

Nice one, professors of Hogwarts. You rule!!!!!

If she pressed the red one to disagree, would she still get zapped if she was right? Well, it was wrong to continuously scream because that would just anger any possible helpers that would come to your rescue. So she pressed down on the red and pulled her hand away quickly. Just in case.

Theo grinned when Dora came to sit with him. Now really wasn't a place for a snog, though. Oh, it was starting. That was quick.

This was... different.

Theo raised an eyebrow at the professors, then the students, and then his buzzer that was just handed to him. It didn't electrocute people did it? He pressed the green button for the first question, obviously. His eyes widened when the buzzers started zapping at people who pressed the red button...... O_O

And the second question was just as straightforward. Who would get these wrong? Theo pressed the red button quickly.

Though... Theo knew that in stressful situations, HE would probably scream.

Okay. It was a good thing Kat didn't get ZAP'd like the others. PHEW! There was a tidal wave of relief inside her and she awaited for the next question. Getting the wrong answer looked... painful. Meh. Oh... scream during a stressful situation. Wow... that only required common sense. Shrug. Kat pressed the red button for this question.

And the whole question sort of reminded her of Nessie though. Oh... was Nessie even here? Who cares. All Kat was concerned about was trying not to get electrocuted. Cos that hurts like heck. She knew the feeling... cos of reasons regarding the misuse of different Muggle inventions that were related to plugs and sockets. Yeah... that wasn't going to happen again. Not ever.

She'd even hunted for yonks through her Quidditch magazines for a picture in hopes he might do a signing at the end of the class, a picture she was now hugging tightly.

She had crossed her fingers and her toes that he'd write 'love Colin MacKenzie'. Then this fourth year could surely die happy.

So clearly she was NOT impressed to see old Botros instead. Her nervous-slash-excited smile fell to be replaced with a wrinkled nose at the 'CANCELLED' ruining the Quidditch player's face. The nerve! No they were certainly not getting smiles or 'good days'. Not after crushing a little fangirls DREAMS.

Blue flopped down onto a cushion beside Cassia, jerking her head in acknowledgement. "Hi." That was it. Her mood had soured so much that she wasn't even going to beam at her co-worker.

HMPH.


Blue! Cassia grinned over at her bestie-Ravvie and opened her mouth to great back bot Professor James started talking and handing Buzzers! Coool. Cassia examined hers curiously. Though was it a way of knowing the answers without hearing the student's voices. Were their voices that bad. Cassia was going to try and take it that way. They better not be avoiding their voices too. Mhhmm.

I know ve all vont to defend our classmates and save the day, however... ve can't very vell keep everyone safe ven you're all running tovards danger.

They got that, right? Fidget. "Alright, let's try a simpler statement:

"When in a stressful situation, it will help if I scream. Loudly. And repeatedly."

Finger twitch. "Remember. Green to agree, and red to disagree." Just so they knew. Again. [/color]


And the other question. Cassia listened with interest. Scream. Well, she happens to have a high-pitched sound of voice. Very effective. She used to scream at the top of her lungs when she was little if she didn't get what she wanted. And mostly her desires were fulfilled just to get her to zip it. But that was ages ago and now she was trying to control the sound of her voice as to not ruin people's hearings.

As for stressful situations. If it just stress like for an exam she surely wouldn't because she'd be kicked out of the exam. Wouldn't want that to happen.

Besides why waste time screaming. Better think and not waste effort screaming. Especially it she wasn't supposed to draw attention to herself.

So nope. She won't scream.

On the red button she pressed down.

Hmm.. A Tingling Zap went right up his arm. Ascanius punch felt worse than this. Though it seemed that you could not outsmart the questions. Where is the fun in that. Merlin. Which just made this lesson more boring. Yawn.

Nigel pressed the red button again and waited to see what happens.

Lots of things were happening and Alec Summers couldn't keep up. Not really.

Except he did notice people getting zapped -- ZAPPED! -- when they seemed to answer differently. Or... those who had not pressed down on the green button beforehand. That was weird. And kind of scary too! He looked down at his own buzzer, glad that he had pressed down on the green one beforehand.

... And what happened to you if you didn't press either buttons? What if you simply... refused?

Hearing the sound of Romanos's voice, the boy looked up and grinned at the woman. Was it okay to scream loudly in a stressful situation? Now... why did this remind him of LochNessie? Trying not to chuckle to himself, Alec pressed down on the red buzzer with both of his thumbs. YEAH!

Okay, now what?

Looks went unnoticed because it wasn't Alice's fault Mo didn't want to sit by her today. And also because she was focusing on the little zap that had just hit her hand. Was that meant to hurt? Really? The professors could do better than that, surely.

She was kind of curious to see how many questions she could purposely answer wrong without the zaps becoming too painful.

Experimental purposes, see? Not as good as Quidditch, but Alice was pressing both buttons again, and would continue to do so for every question. Or maybe she would just press both repeatedly. Because she was testing her ENDURANCE. And stuff. Safety, like she needed that.

Both buzzers were pushed.. and then again and again.

Calmly? Jory highly doubted he would calmly inform the nearest adult. Probably with shouts but definitely not calmly. But he would inform an adult... hmmm. Decisions, decisions. "I'll go with green,'' he decided as he pressed the buzzer. Of course, one could not really answer honestly about what they would do unless actually faced with the situation.

There is no matching light for this one, though. The button glowed green with the same tiny DING! Good.

DING-ZAP-DING-ZAP-ZAAAAAAAAAAP!

Botros clapped his hands once, "Captain Fischer, please postpone any antics until after we're out of questions. We are discussing serious matters." He gave her a soft look, though. Curiosity did that to kids, it didn't harm to reason with them.

Giving the rest of the students a wide smile, he glanced at the DADA professor and stepped up next to her. "Very good, most of you got this one right. But let's enlighten those who'd rather scream or not do anything at all--" Eyes on the Slytherin girl (Arianna). "--It's most likely when you're stressed that shouting, those high-pitched sound waves, will only add pressure on your nerves, as well as on everyone and everything surrounding you, eliciting a potential aggressive reaction making the situation worse than it already is." He personally recoiled from loud voices, his earpiece didn't agree with them, either, no matter how well he adjusted it. But this wasn't about him... ahem.

He met their eyes carefully, making sure they all were paying attention. "Okay, another one:"

"If I don't know what to do in a tricky situation, I should run away and seek cover." Pause. "Remember to press the green button if you agree, or the red one if you disagree."

Ella had buttons but she didn't press them the first time. Y'know why? She wanted to see what would happen if you were wrong. And getting zapped was sure an interesting way for them to teach the students safety.

...

Second question. Yeah, Ella didn't see how screaming could ever help a situation unless you were being kidnapped so she pressed down on the red button.

"Screaming would only make the situation more stressful for everyone."

------------

And then another question. Hmmm. Run and hide if you don't know what to do? That was a tough question. What if the person doing the attacking was another Hufflepuff. NOT that they would, but Hufflpuffs are particularly good finders. WHAT THEN, HUH? Frown.

She supposed if you couldn't be useful and couldn't get help and you couldn't compose yourself, hiding would be a good option.

Green.

Yes! Jory agreed with this! Just standing in the way and not doing anything to help would just make everything ten times worse. Therefore, green it was! Nodding, to himself, he reached for the green buzzer and rang in.

They weren't antics, they were EXPERIMENTS. Didn't Botros know the difference?

Nevertheless, Alice nodded slightly took her hands off the buzzers, actually listening to the next question. Because she was behaving and stuff. And also because her hands were starting to hurt a little. But run and take cover? Who did that? It was cowardly, and cowardice most definitely was not the correct answer ever.

.. it seemed like her zapping tests would be continued anyway, because she was pressing the red button after rubbing her zapped fingers a couple times.

Good. No zapping for Theo.

He paused a bit on the next question. Yes, running away is definitely what HE would do, but it wasn't a very brave thing to do, so he wasn't too sure if it was a trick question or not. Deciding to go with what he felt was right, Theo pressed the green buzzer and waited. When were they going to discuss Quidditch? Seriously.

Oh dear. These questions were difficult. Tobias could see the good points AND the bad points for each one. Like this running away one. It really depended on the situation. Like how tricky was the situation? Was he alone? Did he have to inform anyone?

Almost as if demonstrating his answer to the question, Tobias just held on to the buzzers and decided to wait for a question he knew, hoping to go unnoticed.

Gasping at the zap to her hand she stared at the headmistress. But she'd answered it correctly! She thought she had! Hearing the next question come already she wanted to whimper but she wasn't going to. Yell and scream? Pfft! She didn't do that! Maybe Dan would but she was very brave and not like Daniel.

But she was not going to touch that button! She didn't dare after that first one, that had hurt! Setting her buttons on the ground she folded her arms.

Already Dora was bored with this, and her entertainment of a sulky Alice pressing both buttons was taken away, so she was even more bored now that before. Why they couldn't get better questions at least, she didn't know. But she did wonder if these buzzers or the professors were keeping up with how many times each were pressed, or if the buzzer was. Hmm.

Listening to the next question, she picked up her buzzer and inspected it with one hand, while pressing the red one with the other. Such a relative question, but she was never one to run from anything.

He personally recoiled from loud voices, his earpiece didn't agree with them, either, no matter how well he adjusted it. But this wasn't about him... ahem.

He met their eyes carefully, making sure they all were paying attention. "Okay, another one:"

"If I don't know what to do in a tricky situation, I should run away and seek cover." Pause. "Remember to press the green button if you agree, or the red one if you disagree."[/indent][/COLOR][/FONT]
So her answer was correct. Good, to know that her reflexes in stressful situations are well-thought. Not that she had been there yet. And hopefully she'd remember the right think to do when in a stressed situation.

So next question.

Tricky situation and a tricky question. Will she take cover? But that means she won't be able to do anything. In tricky situations she won't hide, she'll try and find someone or something to prevail whatever is at hand.

So nope, Cassia disagreed and pressed down on the red button again.

Nigel really was thinking about the idea of pressing both buttons now. The Zap was alright and was not fun getting the question right anyway. He was also the type to think about the situation and decided if it was the right time of a tactical retreat or stay and fight.

Decisions, Decisions

So still undecided. Nigel decided to press both buttons like the Gryffindor Captain did. Seemed interesting. Nigel pressed red, green, red, red, and green.

Let see what happens.

...They were serious, weren't they?

Jake glanced around the room before looking back to the professors. Yes, they were serious. What kind of questions were these, though? Pretty black-and-white. So at least that was easy.

As the next question was read, the Prefect looked up at Botros. And made a face. Seek cover? No, you stuck around to make sure other people didn't need any help. And you improvised. Or started hexing things on the spot. Glancing at his buttons, Jake decidedly pressed the red one. There.
