Professor Styx entered the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom earlier than the students, and he leaned against the desk. His arms folded across his chest and he opened the doors to allow the second years to enter the darker classroom with the windows blocked by shades. Professor Styx did not think that they would enjoy this class any longer. However, he would ensure that they all would learn however. He made sure that everyone was present before he said in his cold, monotone voice, "I am Professor Styx in case some of you all transferred in, and the rest of the students should remember me from the previous year. To begin, this year you will be learning the effects of prank-like jinxes." His thin lips almost curled up into a sneer when he thought of that, as he personally did not enjoy the effects and childishness that sometimes resulted in jinxes. "And you will also learn how to defend against them though many will be similar to last year."

After explaining the syllabus of this year to the students, Professor Styx continued to remain where he was, and he continued, "Can anyone tell me what a curse is?" A student raised their hand, and Professor Styx gestured his gloved hand toward the student to allow them to continue. Once they answered the question correctly, he continued to question the students, "Now who can explain what a jinx is and the difference between it and a curse, if one applies?" Another student raised their hand and Professor Styx motioned for them to answer, and they got the question right as well. Now everyone should know what a jinx and a curse is. The former Death Eater turned to the blackboard and the chalk wrote up their homework which was list three curses and three jinxes as well as their effects. After the chalk finished, it dropped to the holder, and Professor Styx turned his eyes to the class.

"I want you to copy this down, and turn it in to me by your next lesson. You are dismissed." Professor Styx waved his hand at the doors and they parted open to allow the students to leave the classroom. Professor Styx watched them leave, and thought that they should be thankful that the assignment was all that they received. Luckily, he was in a good mood enough to not torture them - for now at least.

Assignment: Roleplay the lesson, and do the homework assigned. You all should know the proper heading to use.

It had been a while since Odette had been in a classroom with her Head of House. The last time she had talked to him was after the flyer incident, and now that he was back she was glad she hadn't gotten into trouble in the first semester of this year. Though there was still a curfew which was totally unfair in her eyes.

She made her way to her usual seat, wishing the professor would open a curtain or something. Why did it have to be so dark in here? Odette wrote down 'prank-like jinxes' on top of her page. Maybe this would be useful for revenge on Harley and her little crew. When the professor asked what a curse was, Odette raised her hand. "A curse is a type of spell that is used for dark magic and hurting people." She said. Hopefully it was the right answer, she knew making a good impression on Professor Styx was important. She took notes for the rest of the lesson and wrote down what they had to do for homework. She left the classroom when the lesson was over, already wondering what the next one would be about.

Ah, it was time for more fun times with Mr. Grumpy. Personally, Alex had no problem with Professor Styx, he knew he had to be strict like he is, the class he teaches is a serious matter, so it had to be assigned with a serious professor. He wasn't scared of him, but he respected him enough to keep his mouth shut, head down, and do his assignments on time.

Stepping into the classroom, he took a seat somewhere in the golden middle of the classroom, parchment and feather out, ready to write down any important notes he had to.

After the curse question was answered, Alex raised his hand, and answered.
"Jinxes are a bit less harsh than curses. They are meant to induce amusement to the caster and discomfort of the victim."
He wasn't sure the definition was completely right, but he was fairly satisfied with his answer.
He wrote down the homework he had, and added it to his journal so he wouldn't forget. Another day, another class done.

He casually walked outside, not making a sound.

Kristen entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and took a seat, he enjoyed this class more often than not even if Professor Styx was quite scary. But he knew that as long as he did what the professor told them to do and he didn't stray or argue back things would be fine. He listened to the professor as he spoke and took some notes throughout the lesson and made sure that he wrote down the homework so that he could do it after he headed off, which he did once the lesson concluded and they were all dismissed.

Rose had almost missed the gloomy face of Professor Styx and his gloomy dark classroom. It was nice in a way that the man was so unchanging, at least everyone knew what to expect. Rose smiled at him before taking her seat. Maybe he would be less grumpy if people were nicer to him sometimes. It would make her grumpy too if everyone acted so scared around her.

She listened to the explanation of the syllabus this year. Prank like jinxes sounded like fun! She would have to try one on Rory or Harley as soon as they had learned one. The other girls would probably want to use it on Slytherins, and she glanced at Odette Harper, wondering if she knew what would happen when they learned these jinxes. Not that she didn't deserve it, but Rose wouldn't usually start a fight. She listened to the answers to the questions, sure she would remember them without writing them down. Though she probably wouldn't. She wrote down the homework and then got up, packing up her things before leaving the classroom.
