| | |  DADA Lesson
The transition from October to November has definitely been extreme. Just that morning a glistening layer of frost had was seen on the ground and remained while you completed your S.O.R.E. before breakfast, and it has been forecasted that mountains of snow might be making an appearance in the near future. Brace yourselves. Winter is coming, and it looks like it is going to be a very long and cold one this year.
As you make your way out to the Clock Tower Entrance for an oddly scheduled Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson after a long day of classes and post-supper, the chill in the air is almost unbearable and your breath can be seen still in visible puffs as the remainder of the sunset lingers in the horizon. Matching the weather perfectly — almost too perfectly — stands Headmaster Scrimgeour at the threshold of the entrance, his back to the courtyard and wooden bridge beyond. His arms are crossed and his face looks sterner than ever as little flecks of white being trickling down from the sky.
Being that you are not in the classroom setting, there are no desks for your to sit at. There is not even the slightest indication about what the topic of today's lesson will be about. With those icy blue eyes watching you like a hawk, you had better stand firmly in position and wait for further instruction.
OOC: Welcome to the first role-played Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson of the term. Please note that your student character would be familiar with Scrimgeour's no-nonsense style of teaching, his more practical methods, and his classroom rules by now as they have been having lessons with him for a couple months now. Though the lesson has stated, feel free to jump in at any time!

| Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Daisy made her way to the Clock Tower Entrance, ensuring she was adhering to the rules that were stipulated by the Headmaster/DADA Professor. When she reached the destination, Daisy stood up straight with a quick, polite nod to Headmaster Scrimgeour. She would normally speak her greeting to her Professors but she really was unsure if she could due to the 'speak only when spoken to" rule. In Daisy's mind, the Headmaster had a somewhat erinaceous attitude so she was of a nervous disposition these days.

It was too cold to be outside wearing their uniforms, rather than warm clothes, and really, what were perfectly good classrooms for... if not for being the location where classes happened?
Still, Chloe was willing to give the Headmaster the benefit of the doubt as she took up a silent position near the Headmaster. No greeting, since they were meant to wait to speak until spoken to. Although the chattering of her teeth meant that silence wasn't really possible at the moment. She DID wave her fingers at him and mouth a very cheery HELLLLOOOOO, but at least she was quiet.

Natalie was neither confirming nor denying whether or not she was looking forward to this class. If she confirmed that she was not looking forward to this class, then it would show in her appearance and she would likely get in trouble for not participating well enough. And she wasn't going to do that. She was sure that SOME students were going to either skip class or act brashly IN class just to get in trouble and defy authority, but she was in class to LEARN and earn points and be a GOOD student.
Also, she was scared of detention, so... there was that.
It was cold and the sun was going down and this was the time that Natalie liked to read by the fire and let her food digest and maybe take a nap, but today it was class time. Outside. Where it was cold. And snowing. On top of her clean, crisp uniform, Natalie wore her cloak, a house scarf and gloves, and a hat on her head. She got cold easily.
She walked down to where class was being held, simply nodded politely at the Headmaster and took her spot, or where she thought her spot might be and stood there, hands tucked into her pockets, waiting for the class to begin. | |

To say that Anabeth Greyvson was excited about Defense Against the Dark Arts was…well, a blatant lie. Sure, if Professor Hisrch were still there she would have been. Alas, it was Headmaster Scrimgeour. Sir PricklyPants as she so deemed to refer to him in her thoughts…and well, in her stubborn bravery moment of the day she had brought something with her.
Maybe it would make Headmaster Scrimgeour think she was a decent person and not the little rebel she truly was under everything. Her uniform was pristine of course and the small Tupperware box in her hand sort of shook as she nervously walked into the room and RIGHT up to Professor Headmaster Scrimgeour’s desk.
”hello Professor,” the blonde smiled as she extended her hand and the Tupperware toward him. ”I wasn’t um…able to get this until this morning and saved you a slice…its birthday cake sent from my Dutch Oma…its Licorice flavored” she smiled as she gingerly placed the container on his desk and skulked back to hers where she tucked her books before standing there like a statue. Really Dizzy and Runa would have been proud, she’d made it. Dutch Drop cake. It probably tasted like a burning salt lick of death…but obviously, she was in a sharing mood. It was Scrimgeour after all – he deserved a mouth full of brimstone.

Bettie made her way to the clock tower. When she got there she found Headmaster Scrimgeour standing at the entrance. Seeing him ther brought the rule "do not speak unless you are spoken to" to he mind. Should she greet him or not. The last time she dealt with this rule she got in trouble for not greeting but that may not apply here. All else fells ask she thought. "Headmaster Scrimgeour I have a question about your rule do not speak unless you are spoken to. Does that apply to greeting you?

Like every other sane person in this school, Archer was in no way looking forward to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Even less when she saw the clouds building out of the window of the dorm. But, of course the Headmaster wouldn't change class location just because of the weather. He would probably claim that the cold built character or something. But, here she was anyway, uniform all nice and tidy as stated in the rules, all supplies tucked in her backpack, shoes recently shined, hair pulled back in a neat bun, face absent of all make-up and tie perfectly straight. Honestly, the whole get-up was reminiscent of a muggle ROTC uniform, except her tie was yellow and black striped instead of navy blue (she'd switched her skirt for pants, thanks to the cold). The only other exception to that was the trench coat, gloves and scarf she was wearing. From the front, it might look like she was falling into line with the new regime. But, if one took even a quick glance at the back of her coat, one would see the giant phoenix emblazoned there in what seemed to be bluebell flames (they weren't, just looked like them, thanks to a charm she had learned at Illvermorny).
" Sir, Headmaster, sir," she greeted with a proper military salute. Otherwise, she was silent, standing with her back straight, arms crossed behind her back and staring straight forward. Was she trying to make a point? Yes, she was.

Hanna approached the small group at the Clock Tower entrance, and felt her core muscles engaging as she saw the Headmaster. He always scared her. She figured the contracting of her muscles around vital organs was her intuition's way of protecting her.
The man always made her feel uncomfortable, too. Rocking up, not being allowed to speak unless spoken TO. It wasn't right. She was surprised he hadn't taught them some sort of military stance, but she certainly wasn't going to suggest it.
So, she stood, waiting for the lesson to start. Feeling colder as the time went on. And colder. So cold, she was sure her lips were blue.

The weather only seemed to be mirroring the mood at the castle, even though it hadn’t broken Stasya’s spirit any more than it had been since the beginning of term. Acting like she wasn’t letting the stress get to her was getting harder, but she wasn’t going to let anyone break her. It was her secret promise to Professor Hirsch, especially now that her near-daily letters to him had been forcibly stopped due to the owl monitoring rule. After an earlier discussion with Koen, however, she’d just resorted to writing her thoughts down on a charmed parchment to be used during the holiday break to contact the former professor, aka her (pretend) Uncle Roderik. DADA lessons weren’t the same without him presiding over them, but she’d survive. Preferably, she’d survive without having to sacrifice herself, because that promise still stood too.
Either way, she’d made the decision to utilize a few well-cast heating charms on her clothing as she’d gotten ready for the after-supper lesson, making sure every inch of her uniform was spotless. Which had been harder when it had been easier to spend time in the barns between lessons, but disappointingly was a lot simpler when she felt basically trapped inside the castle aside from when she could get Professor Wayland to chaperone her.
Therefore, she was at least a fraction more comfortable as she’d walked out to the clocktower entrance, if not quite as warm as she’d have been if she could wear anything other than her uniform. She was comfortable enough that the polite smile she’d reserved for the headmaster and his minions came easily to her face as she stopped near where Chloe was standing. “Good evening Headmaster,” she said simply and oh-so-politely, even as she secretly wished she could surreptitiously cast a heating charm in the direction of her Ravenclaw friend, or to hug her and hope her own heating charms transferred somehow.
She didn’t risk it, though. Part of her honestly was a bit nervous about even moving at all until it was requested. Gryffindor was still surprisingly doing okay in the house point department, and she didn’t think it was worth hurting their position, no matter how much she’d wanted to. And she really wanted to. A hug would be nice right about now.

So, uh, it was COLD.
Living in North England, he was used to this kind of weather but that didn’t mean that he LIKED it. In fact, he didn’t, and it was mostly because of the S.O.R.E exercises they had to do in the morning. It was starting to get harder and harder to get out of his bed and the cold made him feel even worse. No one wanted to exercise in the cold, did they?
You know, maybe risking the boils wasn’t such a bad idea.
With all of this in mind, Lucas made his way to their lesson, which was taking place……. near the Clock Tower? Uh…... Yeah, he was confused. What any of this had to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts, he didn’t know. The only thing he could think of was defending himself against CLOCKS but that sounded so dumb that even he smiled to himself.
He was funny. Secretly. To himself.
But that smile soon disappeared when he saw the Headmaster. The man was already taking the fun away from this place, he might even make it illegal to be happy, soon enough. "Hello, Headmaster sir," he said quietly, approaching an empty spot to stand in.

If someone had told Sylvie in August, when she was slaving over her OWL resits, that Hirsch was gonna poof and they'd get Scrimmy here as their new DADA professor, Sylvie would definitely have chosen to stick with her fail grade. But she'd already decided she was taking this class, so she was going to be as sad and miserable as the rest of them were whenever DADA came up in the timetable.
Rubbing her hands together to heat them up, Sylvie shivered as she looked around at the people present. No greeting or anything for Scrimmy, since the no speaking unless spoken to thing was still a thing and she didn't much fancy a detention. Sweeping strained eyes over the little crowd, she spotted Natalie from her year and made a beeline for her.
So far so good, no Zoryn in sight she'd just wait for the rest of her friends to show up.

Cold. Cold cold cold. COLD. It was TOO COLD.
Was that SNOW?
If there was anything that was likely to put Abra in a foul mood it was cold, and it was snow. In addition to that, now he had to attend a lesson with the Headmaster, which always multiplied his anxiety about a millionfold. Bad mood and wrecked nerves combined meant that this lesson was sure to be far from a pleasant experience.
Holding his robes tightly around him - they were equipped with warming charms, but Abra didn't dare add a jacket, scarf, or even gloves - Abra arrived at the clock tower, his teeth chattering and his face stinging in the cold as he claimed a space among the rest of the gathered students.
"Good evening, Headmaster Scrimgeour," he greeted the man himself. Abra's voice was wary but polite, and shook ever so slightly - though whether from the teeth-chattering or from anxiety, it was hard to tell.

Rylee was here. And for only two simple reasons at that. The first and utmost important being, she didn't want to disappointment Hirsch if she didn't attend these lessons. She had worked far to long and hard last term taking extra training sessions with him to get where she was now.
The second reason being she liked the subject. It was that simple.
Whether or not she would get herself into trouble if she didn't attend the lesson never really occurred to her. Whatever the reason, Rylee was here, at the clock tower entrance out in the cold. "Good evening, Headmaster," the third year greeted lightly standing as still as possible in her spot. Which if anyone that knew her, knew this wasn't an easy task. She clasped her hands together in front of herself to keep from fidgeting about.

The cold in the air gave Patrick a chill as he stepped closer to his favorite place to hide out and read, although with these rigorous schedules that the headmaster required he no longer spent as much time relaxing. He took to doing that in the dormitory or the common room where no one would see him and expect great things.
With his shoulder drawn back and standing at his full 5 foot 11 inches height he joined his classmates. He noticed many were silent but his eyes tracked Anabeth offering something. Oh Merlin she was offering cake the headmaster gated things like nonsense and he thought that was nonsense. Although, he supposed of there was any way to get under his skin it was likely to be cake.
Rather than say anything and dig a hole Patrick turned his attention back to the headmaster, “good evening headmaster Scrimgeour” with a curt nod he folded his hands together and waited for class hopeful he wouldn’t die tonight.

The only good thing about the Hogwarts uniform, in Bel's opinion, was that they were made to withstand the cold Scotland climate... to a point. She was in every possible layer today, with woollen school tights under her skirt, her school cloak over her robes (which in turn were fastened over a wool jersey), and a Hufflepuff scarf to finish it off. But the Australian girl was still cold, to the point where she honestly wouldn't mind having to take a bit of a jog around to warm up. She was tempted to put her hand up and ask if she could do exactly that but she was conscious that their new headmaster didn't like disruptions and.... Bel wasn't sure if it would count as one or not. Even jogging on the spot might be too much of a disruption for all she knew.
Bel looked around the clock tower entrance area and found a spot to stand and wait. "Good evening, sir." Bel greeted, and then shivered slightly. Hopefully they would be doing something that would warm her up. Just as an automatic gesture, Bel checked her wand pocket to make sure her wand was there and then she relaxed as much as the chill in the air allowed. Brrrr.

| A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Defence Against the Dark Arts had got to be his worst subject at Hogwarts. Even when Professor Hirsch taught it he was, not terrible at it but certainly not great either. And his nerves had only ten folded when the new Headmaster had been teaching it.
But that did not stop him from coming to the class and today was no exception. He straightened his Ravenclaw tie before he placed his hands in his robe pockets to keep them warm as he entered the clock tower.
He looked around first for any indication what they were going to do today when his eyes landed on Anabeth offering the Headmaster a slice of cake. With a small frown, Dorian wondered if she was going to whine if ...no...when her points were getting taken. Resisting the urge to shake his head, the fourth year took his hands out of his pockets and turned to face the Headmaster.
"Good evening, Headmaster Scrimgeour" he greeted, trying to keep his voice as steady as possible. He was scary just standing there TT

In all honesty, Derf sometimes felt like he was the only one who appreciated - for the most part - the no nonsense approach that Headmaster Scrimgeour brought to the subject. Though...the pressure to get it right the first time was something he did not appreciate, nor was it one that the Hufflepuff had ever been able to deliver on when they had been taught something new. The combination of his favor of the theoretical over practical execution when it came to spell work and his fwooper core alone were enough to enable failure, add in anxiety which then lead to performance issues with his wand and...well...a couple of premature sparks shooting out the tip and singing his parchment was a more optimistic outcome of events.
His nose still red and cheeks lightly burned in thanks to the cold wind from this morning's S.O.R.E, Derf had taken a few precautions to his robes when he had seen where class was being held. Precautions in the form of some gentle heating charms so he at least wouldn't be shivering in his shoes and chattering his teeth like some of his classmates.
"Good evening, Headmaster Scrimgeour," the Hufflepuff greeted dutifully with a polite nod before finding himself somewhere to stand over by Abey for the time being. He simply offered the Gryffindor a small, almost boyish, shrug in greeting as he slid his hands into his pockets for warmth.

Skyler did not like this year at all. Not at all. Even lax Muggle studdies couldn't make her feel happy. She understood the rules, of course she did, but at the same time. She looked to the head master as she walked in.
"Hello headmaster," she said.
She moved her fingers a bit as she tried to warm them up standing in a spot not saying anything. When they were warm, she put them at her side and kept silent. Standing still and silent. She couldn't possibly get in trouble for breathing right?

Indigo pulled on his gloves before leaving the castle and heading to the clock tower. He found himself wondering what was wrong with the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom? Too warm for the headmaster? He wouldn't want them to be comfortable, of course. At least it wasn't too bad. Not unbearable. Besides, Indigo wasn't one to complain anyway.
When he arrived he did not immediately see anyone he knew, so he stood a bit off to the side, and away from the thick of things. He was a bit thankful for the no-nonsense demeanor of their professor, which saved him from having to worry about any sort of potential mingling. As long as he could stand peacefully by himself without the attention of anyone else, that was perfectly fine with him. | |

Nettie was now quite certain that the Headmaster was trying to kill them. The run this morning had been cold, but now it was just plain FREEZING. They would have to be moving their runs inside soon...right? She wanted to ask him, but she didn't want to get in trouble for talking either. These days, it was just easier to bite her tongue rather than even risk talking out of turn.
So instead, she simply smiled at the professor in greeting before moving towards the back of the crowd, which was quite unlike her. She wrapped her Ravenclaw scarf a bit tighter around her neck, hoping this was just an intro to the lesson and they'd be moving back inside shortly.

The day had been long and hard, only made harder by the obvious frost that clung to the castle. With the small white flecks falling from the grey sky, it became obvious that winter was almost here. Ewan couldn’t help but let a small sigh and shiver as he ventured towards the clock tower entrance, his cloak wrapped tightly around his shoulders.
As his legs carried him along this familiar route, he couldn’t help but consider the lesson that was about to take place and the amount of points that would obviously be taken from his fellow students.
Finally arriving, Ewan gave the Professor a small smile and a nod of respect. Despite his obvious distaste for the rules, he was not about to disrespect the man for the sake of it. If he was going to break the rules and aggravate the headmaster, he do it when it had the biggest effect.

Ok, now that Hirsch was gone and they got well Headmaster this was not one of the classes Théo looked forward to anymore like of years past. Always one for more practical lessons instead of theory since in this gryffindor's case most theory was boring if not quidditch related. Still for newts and all that fun stuff he was trying. Seriously nowhere to sit huh. they were just supposed to stand around. Théo just stood around in an empty spot and waited for class to start.
And did you know it was cold. Maybe he should have worn some gloves or something warmer
Would have been a smart idea too bad he aint smart.

Zoryn was VERY unhappy about Defense Against the Dark Arts this year. No offense (ACTUALLY, FULL OFFENSE), but she wanted Professor Hirsch back. He was more than just a Professor. He was a friend. He was one of the only Professors who never spoke to her like she was a problem, but instead treated her like a real human being. For that reason, she actually tried in this class. But this year... She couldn't say the same.
The Gryffindor made her way towards the clock tower, her whole body shaking and teeth chattering as she walked. No amount of heating charms could keep her warm, it seemed. Trust me, she tried them all. "Professor," she managed through gritted teeth, before turning on her heels and walking to Théo.
Typically it wasn't DADA until Zoryn asked if they were going to learn about DRAGONS. But Zoryn quickly learned to stop asking Scrimgeour for anything that would lead to any sort of child happiness. The man knew nothing of happy. He was such a sour grape.

Kaitlynn Hopsisk
Second Year | Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.
It was already snowing and deep on the inside, like way deep down buried underneath all the exhaustion, Kaitlynn was pretty happy about it. She loved the snow. However, she wasn't showing the happiness on her face as she made her way to the Clock Tower for her DADA class. Just because she loved the snow didn't mean she wanted to stand out in it for the duration of the class. Plus, any sign of happiness seemed to be a crime these days.
Her uniform was in perfect form but she wanted to craw further into her cloak because the sun was slowly setting and it was getting colder. The cold in the mornings during the runs was already causing her to struggle with staying awake in classes. Sure, she might adjust to it but she wasn't hopeful about it right now. She stifled a yawn the best as she could when she finally made to her destination.
She gave a curt nod to the Headmaster Professor Scrimgeour in greeting and fell in line along with the other students trying not to shake as another yawn caused her jaw to quake a bit in the effort she was using to keep her mouth shut. No speaking unless spoken to translated to her as keep your mouth shut and she was going to do just that.
