Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. In Defence Against the Dark Arts you will learn how to protect yourself against evil creatures, spells, and curses. This will be an intense course that will need your full attention during class and also some preperation before the class. It is not impossible that you will face your greatest fears in this classroom, but don’t be alarmed, a qualified teacher will guide you. This teacher is Professor Lupin, a former Hogwarts student himself.
Sincerely, Professor Dumbledore

OOC: All Professor Lupin's thought and speeches will be in Purple
Professor Lupin was standing in front of the class next to his desk. On the desk was a big thing, looking like a box, covered in a great black sheet. He smiled to the students as they filed in.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts. I assume that you are all ready for your very first class this year. We starting with a clean slate this year. Mistakes you made last year are completely forgotten."
OOC: Just forget everything that has ever been don before, I'm starting all over, even though I know we discussed several topics already.

Lessien entered the room behind Draco, but moved to sit across the aisle from him. He frowned at this but remained silent as Lessien smiled brightly at Professor Lupin.

Elin and Telery entered class with a smile on their face. They were looking forward to start the year with their favourite subject, DADA. Espescially from a cool teacher like professor Lupin. Elin knew about his darker side, but she didn't like him less for it. On the contrary, it only created respect with her, for he daily struggled with the effects the Dark Arts and it's followers had left him with. She nodded a hello to the professor and then took place somewhere in the middle of the class, together with Telery. "I wonder what his lesson will be about.", she whispered to Telery.

OT: Since I don't know how to add to that Loss, I think I'll just continue with my post??
Draco's frowned deepened as he watched Lessien continue to smile at Lupin, "Lessien." He felt somewhat gratified when he captured her attention, "What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for class to begin Draco." She grinned at him devilishly.
"You know what I mean smart--" He caught her look and stopped his sentence. "Come sit by me."
"Is that an order Your Highness?" A lone eyebrow lifted dangerously as Lessien waited for an answer.
"You know it's hard for me to be...well, you know. Come sit by me...please?"
With a sigh Lessien gathered her things and sat by Draco, "I'm only going to continue to sit by you if you're pleasant to Professor Lupin." Snickering at the look on his face she quickly amended her statement, "If you try to be nice to the Professor."
He nodded simply glad that things were going how he wanted them to at the present time. "No promises."
"Yes I know." She rolled her eyes, "I know how you are Draco. I'm not expecting miracles."

Telery sat quietly waiting for the class to begin, DADA was her favorite topic, and Professor Lupin was an awesome professor, he knew a lot about dark animals, and she that this year they would discuss some dark curses as well. "Yeah me too."
Professor Lupin got up from his desk and step to the first desk. "Today we are going to start easy."
He walked back to his desk and drew the sheet of from the box. Underneath it was an aquarium, in it were three pale green creatures, with long brittle fingers, sharp little horns, and green teeth. "Who of you knows what these creatures are?"

Nessa who had picked a spot near the front leaned over her desk to get a good look. She knew what they were, but why could she not think of the name? It figured, she never remembered such things it was usually a wonder on how she passed her classes with good grades.

Lessien nudged Draco knowing he knew what they were, but he remained obstinately quiet refusing to be the first to answer.
Draco barely managed not to roll his eyes at her nudge, Do I look like Granger all of a sudden?
Lessien glanced at the other students and smiled seeing Telery with her hand raised, She'll know the correct answer.

Telery raised her hands. "These are Grindylows."
"That's the correct answer. Grindylows can be found in many of the lakes of Britain, they live among the weeds. These I've fished out of the Lake on the grounds. Some say that the Merpeople in our lake have domesticated some of the Grindylows and now keep them as we would keep a dog or a cat." Lupin walked around as he explained how the Grindylows lived.
"Today's class will be a little shorter, since you will have to change after wards. You are going to learn how to defend yourselves against Grindylows." He stepped back again and waved with his wand, a few empty desks in the back slid against to wall in a neat row. After another wave of his want a large aquarium, the size of a small swimming pool, with greenish water appeared where the desks had stood not a minute ago. Lupin picked up the aquarium with the Grindylows, and let them loose in the green water, where they disappeared among the weeds.
"If you could all get up leave your bags and all excessive clothing, like you're robes, behind and come here I'll teach you how to get a Grindylow away from you."

Now the fun was beginning and Lessien quickly took her robe off not paying any attention to what she was wearing, forgetting her normal school outfit had been destroyed in the Dungeons.
"Lessien what are you wearing?" Draco asked taking in the sight.
Lessien looked down and smiled, "Oh these are my Muggle jeans. Do they look alright?"
He nodded as he swallowed the lump that seemed to have taken over his throat. "Are jeans supposed to be that tigh..uh, form fitting?"
"Yep. Now hurry." With that said Lessien hurried over to where Nessa was standing, not waiting for Draco to follow.

Nessa smirked when she felt Lessien come next to her and then Draco behind her. She looked over at him and gave a friendly smile, at least she was trying.
“Ever seen one of these up close before?” She asked them. Lessien looked at her and noticed the interested look in her eyes. She really did get a kick out of danger.

"Nope" Telery said, hearing the remark. "But supposedly some student almost drowned once, while swimming in the lake. One of those little buggers had dragged the kid below surface, but he was saved by the giant squid or something." She was looking intently at the aquarium, trying to see the Grindylows, but they were invisible in the green water. "The water looks positively gross!"
As All student had assembled round him and the aquarium he took out his wand once more. "A Grindylow usually ensnares unaware swimmers by gripping their ankles and pulling them under water, their long fingers have an iron grasp that a human hand can't get lose. Fighting a Grindylow, however, is actually very easy, when your a witch or wizard that is. For muggles is will almost assuredly mean death. But all you have to do is move your want like this..." He brought his want down with a quick swoosh. "And say re-LA-shio. This will cause them to release you and enable you to swim to the surface again. Now lets practice." Lupin once more showed them the correct movement, and helped the students as they practiced on dry land. After a couple of minutes he clapped his hands. "Now who wants to begin?"

Lessien raised an eyebrow as she watched Draco step up and perform the wrist movement correct along with the incantation. Hmmm, he's never offered to go first before. At least not voluntarily. Shrugging she turned to watch the next student moving closer to Nessa as Draco came to stand by her.
OOC: Oooooh, do we have a 'Lake' thread?? We could have FUN!!! Lol.

OOC: I have no idea what to add, maybe I'm just to tired to have my brain think correctly. But if you would like you can make a lake thread. I would definatley be there.

Lessien grabbed Nessa's hand, "I think you, me, and Telery should go swimming later. Now that we know how to get the Grindylows off we can swim wherever we want, well as long as it's away from the giant squid." She grinned, "After class?"
