You see a notice tacked to the front door of the classroom:

Attention students. The first DADA class will occur Thursday, March 18 at 8:00 EST. Please be prompt and bring all of your supplies with you. Please also bring with you any ideas or topics you would like to discuss this term, as well as a positive attitude.

"To be prepaired for the future?"

Arkee Maldemer · 03-19-2004, 02:40 AM

"Because the Dark Arts will always be present, and there will always be times when we need to defend ourselves against it?" answered Arkee uncertainly.

*raises hand* To protect ourselves!

"Why do you think we need to learn about defense against the Dark Arts?"

So we are able to protect ourselves against the Dark foreces.

I think we should learn about DADA because if we don't know it, we'd be in trouble if it ever came up sometime when we're out of school all by ourselves.

*raise hand* To defend ourselves from tha danger from ohter magical creatures, and specially of those considered *dark*

Sakura_kura · 03-19-2004, 02:41 AM

"I think every one is right, since it's personal opinion" Sakura kura says quitely

quidditch_chick · 03-19-2004, 02:41 AM

"To no only learn how to defend ourselves but what we need to defend ourselves from."

"But not all magical creatures are inherently dark, right? They're not all out to get us people."

"I agree"

Sakura_kura · 03-19-2004, 02:43 AM

"I agree as well"

Moony521 · 03-19-2004, 02:43 AM

*raise hand*"To know about the danger of the wizarding world and know how to defend ourselves against it"

"I agree"

Dawn Bloom · 03-19-2004, 02:44 AM

I think we need it because some time or another we will be in peril and will definetly need it.

Padfoot521 · 03-19-2004, 02:44 AM

I think that we need to learn DADA because if the time arrose where you had to defend youself you need to know how and what other tings you may need to defend yourself against. It is better to be safe that sorry.

TrickC · 03-19-2004, 02:45 AM

i agree with everyone!

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 03-19-2004, 02:45 AM

*raie hand again* Also to practice defensive-offensive kind of magic, better known as *anti-hexes*, which some authors consider another word for hexes too... it wouldn't be wrong to consider it that way, after all *anti-hexes* aren't but hexes used for defensive situation, but are hexes all the same, and even the *anti-hex* idea come from an ideology like "the one who started is the real responsible" while those fighting back are doing harm as well... " Nadia wonders.

::Riley takes a look at how many students seem so eager to learn defense, then again, it wasn't unfounded was it? She is seated by her fellow Slytherins and sends a smirk to the Gryffindor side of the room.::

Moony521 · 03-19-2004, 02:46 AM

"all of us are right I think"

~Slytherin_Heir~ · 03-19-2004, 02:46 AM

:laughs at rileys actions:

Sakura_kura · 03-19-2004, 02:47 AM

"Every one sounds so smart in this class...I'm only first year! I need to learn!"

Padfoot521 · 03-19-2004, 02:47 AM

I agree with every one also!

Cassirin · 03-19-2004, 02:47 AM

Professor Rae raised her hands to silence the class and gave a loud laugh. "Wow... that was overwhelming. Obviously you all have an opinion about why a class such as this is necessary. I heard a lot of variations on the same idea... we don't know what will cross our path, and we need to be prepared. Unfortunately, there IS Dark Magic in the world, and it doesn't just happen to those who are prepared. We at Hogwarts want to send our students out there ready for as much as possible.

Now... and please, I want thoughtful answers. Don't just blurt something out... let's try to form a general definition so we are all on the same page. What are "Dark Arts?" What does that term even mean?"

Meandering · 03-19-2004, 02:48 AM

Peony raised her hand. "Magick is neither black nor white and it can never be categorized into those two. Dark Arts is magic used to hurt someone. Even a charm like Wingardium Leviosa could be termed as Dark Arts if someone used to to levitate his enemy right off a cliff."
