When everything turns to black,
You don't know where to go...
You need something to justify your soul.
Silence is broken, confidence is gone;
Everything you're holding onto falls.

Fanchon sat in her very comfortable chair, stroking Jacques, her cat, curled up in her lap, as though she were a Bond villain, and gave the room one final once over. She had enough tables and chairs to fit everyone, she'd made sure the room was spotless, in case anyone had any dust allergies, and she'd tried to make it.... if not quite welcoming, at least slightly less intimidating, although that was a bit difficult when the decor of the room literally included a giant skeleton of some magical beast suspended above the class. Ah well. They'd have to get used to Hogwarts's quirks at some point, and DADA was a notoriously challenging class, although not quite to the level of say, Transfiguration or Potions. However, it was extremely important, and if she had her way, she'd make it mandatory for all seven years. Alas, she could not have her way, so she only had five years to drill as much knowledge as possible through their hairy little heads. If she could make sure all of them could cast a proper shield charm, patronus, disarm someone, and defeat a boggart, she'd be happy. It would raise their life expectancy significantly. As the second years filtered into the room, she observed them stoically, not rising from her seat (and disturbing Jacques' nap) until everyone had taken their seats and were (mostly) quiet. "Bonjou. Good morning," she translated calmly, confident that her accent, while strong, was not an excuse for them to not listen. "I am Fanchon Cohen, and I am responsible for ensuring that all of you can recognize dark magic, and properly defend yourselves against it. My rules are written on the board. Follow them, don't follow them, it's your choice. This class is largely about choices. I'm here to demonstrate to you how to make good ones. Can anyone," she scanned the room, "Tell me what a knock-back jinx accomplishes? The curriculum has undergone some changes over the years, but you should have mastered that spell last year."

Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

Jillian arrived early for her class she was eager to be here. She found a seat near a window and got ready for class. The sunshine always made her happy. The teacher asked what a knockback jinx does. This lady had a strong presence that made Jillian think of her grandpa before he passed. "Well a knockback jinx, knocks someone over so they can't attack you back right away." Jillian answered hoping she was right

Hikaru came to class and got a seat at a desk by himself, Lauretta had looked sad when he was at the feast, so he decided to try and save her a seat. Did something happen during the summer. He admittedly forgot to send letters during the summer over the excitement of his new sister. the teacher asked about the knockback jinx. "It's the jinx that can be used to repel an opponent or knock away an object." he replied, happy he recalled reading about it before class.

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

Julius Devereux
Second Year Slytherin
Family Heir

Location : DADA Class - Tuesday @ 11:00am

It appeared they had a new defense against the dark arts teacher. Julius didn’t say much as he entered the room and took a seat in the middle of the class. Taking his books out he waited for class to begin. When their professor began to speak, he looked to the front. If she didn’t think he couldn’t make good choices she didn’t know him at all. Course he’d never speak that out loud. Scanning the rules he jotted them down before returning his attention back to what she was asking. With both Jillian and Hikaru answering the question on what the knock-back jinx was meant for, Julius remained silent. Professor Cohen didn’t need a hundred students repeating the same thing. It would definitely get redundant after a while.

Fanchon was discussing something with an older Gryffindor and older Slytherin, possibly sixth or seventh years, when the second years arrived for class. After they had sat down she stepped to the front of the room to start the lesson. "Today you'll be learning the Tickling Charm, which is about as ridiculous as it sounds, and usually only used in duels. But it may prove handy in some odd situation one day, so here we are. This is Darren," the boy waved awkwardly, "And Larissa," the girl smiled, "Who have agreed to be guinea pigs for this lesson."

Fanchon drew her wand. "The effects of the tickling charm are simple. It causes the target to double over in uncontrollable laughter, temporarily keeping them from casting any spells. Darren?"

The blond boy stepped forward, drawing his wand as well. "Expell-,"

"Ric-tuh-SEM-pra!" Fanchon snapped, and he doubled over in wheezing laughter, holding his midsection as he tried to get a hold of himself. After a few moments the spell gradually wore off, and the older boy straightened back up, looking a little winded but no worse for the wear.

"As you can see, the light should be silver, and the movement goes like this:,"



"Now, I'd like two lines, and for each of you to have a go casting it on one of these two," she indicated the two teens with a jerk of her head.

Hikaru came to class and got a seat at a desk by himself again, still saving that seat. He couldnt help but smirk at the ticking charm. It totally seemed the kinda spell his dad enjoyed. The practical time came and he elected to practice with the older girl. He was nevous on his first go. The girl sruged indicating it floped though th light from his wand had clued him first. He had learned his wand wasn't happy unless he was giving it his all. Taking a deep breath he summoned his courage and went for it again. This time the girl was laughing pretty hard. The giggling was contiguous and he snikkerd some himself.

Jillian arrived right as the last bell was going off. She was technically not late! She was so sluggish and moody today. She really wanted to sleep all day, cry and punch something, but she wasnt going to miss this class. Practice time she choose the boy. She made good and sure she got it right the first time. Unfourtuntly it took three times to get this one which only left her more moody. Prehaps she would bribe the house elves to part with icecream that always helped her when she was in a mood.

Second Year Slytherin

Location : DADA Class - Tuesday @ 11:00am

Julius took a seat in defense looking rather forward to it. Be it a lecture or a spell, he was rather good at the class. Today was the tickling charm something Julius found wasn’t overly useful. Then again if someone couldn’t stop laughing they couldn’t cast a charm. Sitting in class the Slytherin wondered what was with the two older students. As class started it appeared that they’d be helping. Either way he began taking notes about the spell while getting a demonstration.

When it was time to try the spell himself, Julius stood and joined one of the two lines. He found himself behind Hikaru as he waited for his turn. Wand in hand he got ready before making the necessary feather like wand movement. “Rictusempra.” He said a faint silver light flashing in front of him. It was enough to get some laughter but hardly as much as some others in his class. Though, it probably wasn’t as intense of a tickle as some other students could produce.

After spending the first week for classes alone and hidden Lauretta decided she better not do that anymore even though that is all she wanted to do. Her parents wouldn't want her to do that all they would want her to try her hardest at all of her classes even though she is going through a tough time without having her parents around in her life. As she walked into Defense Against the Dark Arts. She spotted her best friend and walked to him putting on a smile even though she didn't want to smile but she will try for him. "Hi Hikaru, can I next sit to you?" She asked politely like the lady was she brought up to be when her parents were still alive.

Charlie arrived to class earlier than what was usual for him. He almost felt like a pro with finding things in the castle by now. He ploped into his seat and got out what they needed for the day. The teacher started with a discussion question. "Well it says in the name it knocks the opponent back. It be good for an escape as it buys you time to use another spell or to simply run." He said as a response. This was one of his favorite classes. He seemed to like most of the classes but this class fell in to the category of favorite.

ROMAN DOWLING __________
Second Year, Gryffindor __________
═════════════════════════ ________

Defense Against the Dark Arts. Probably the only real exciting class that was offered at Hogwarts, Roman was always eager to try his best in this class. So far, he wasn't late and that was more than he could hope for considering the last minute staircase remix he found himself trapped in. Charlie had already found a seat and Roman moved to sit directly behind the friendly Hufflepuff. Expecting nothing more than a series of pointless introductions, he perked up when the professor jumped straight into the lesson. Since Charlie had already answered, and he had nothing else to really do, Roman rummaged in his bag for a pen and pad to jot down some notes. (After the hell from last year, he tossed out all his quills and broken ink wells and replaced them with pens and pencils.)

Elide walked into class a little late and took a seat in the farthest seat before looking up at the teacher and biting her lip slightly as she watched the demonstration before nodding her head and tracing what the wand movements should be on the desk.

When the teacher asked students to get up Elide looked around, watching to make sure everyone moving before she joined in and stood in the line forming in front of Darren.
