Professor Kalif Styx

Professor Styx was leaning against his desk, the windows were covered by shades to give the room a darker feeling. He preferred the darker environments, and the subject that he was going to be teaching them this year was surely a dark subject as well. Professor Styx waited for the fourth years to arrive though the open doors, and once they were all seated, he counted heads and took role. They were going to just go over the curriculum of this year today, so there would be no need to have them take out wands or quills unless they feel the need to do so. Once they were all silenced, the doors closed and the lesson began. "This year, we will be focusing on the Unforgivable Curses, examples and theories that goes along with them as well."

The former Death Eater assumed that they would know what these curses had done, and what they are capable of. Professor Styx started off, "This will be reviewing of what was taught in your first year, so you will have no excuses to not know these questions. Let's begin, who remind the class how many Unforgivable Curses there are?" One student raised their hand, and Professor Styx nodded at them to give out the answer which was correct. "Correct. What are the incantations for each?" He gestured to another student to answer the question. Once that was also answered correctly, he continued on, "Finally, what does each curse do?" He motioned for a student to answer that did not raise their hand, and they answered correctly as well.

The Slytherin Head of House folded his arms across his chest and he paused for a moment seeing that some students were taking notes which he did not see the point in. "Next lesson, we will learn about the Imperius Curse, and if you wish to assist with the class with a presentation of the curse, see me after class for a consent form. You may leave." Professor Styx waved his hand at the doors and they opened to allow the students to leave the class. He had other classes to teach as well, and get ready for.

Assignment: Roleplay the lesson.

Wyatt was feeling extremely sour about Hogwarts after his request to be expelled had been denied and yet he had to go to classes because that was the only time he could actually get outside of the Gryffindor common room. As he was already getting sick of the red and gold there really was no other option and so the boy took a seat in Defense Against the Dark Arts and waited for the class to begin, talking quietly with Asaiah to catch up until Styx's presence had silenced them like the dirty old vampire he was. As a question was the boy raised his hand and answered, "Three," once gestured to. He listened as the class was continued the review although he felt that this was quite a pointless thing to do. If someone couldn't remember something as horrible as the unforgivable curses they really belonged less in Hogwarts than he did and that was a damn shame. Once they were let out the boy couldn't help but dawdle as he spoke to his friends quietly while they exited before they were all resigned to return to their common rooms.

Hogwarts NZ Drop Out | Former Slytherin & Beater | Quiet | Bold

He hadn't been looking forward to the start of the second semester at all now that he wasn't allowed to do anything really. Cliffeton had taken everything he loved away from him, and even though the trashing bit seemed totally worth it at the time, the Slytherin regretted doing it now. He walked into the Dark Arts classroom and nodded at the Professor. Asaiah sat down next to Wyatt and patted the boy on the back, happy to see that he was still here instead of at home with his parents, because he'd been afraid that his best friend would've decided to drop out of school at some point after the outburst in the Deputy's office. He turned his attention to his Head of House as soon as he began the lesson and listened attentively to what they were going to cover in this year. Half of him wasn't surprised when the man told them that they were going to focus on the Unforgivable Curses because they were bound to so at some point in their school lives. ''Crucio, Imperio, and Avada Kedavra.'' Asaiah answered and continued to listen to what Professor Styx was saying. Once class was dismissed he took his time to leave the classroom so they had a bit more to talk to each other.

[justify]Marisol was equal parts dreading and looking forward to classes starting up again. She wasn't looking forward to Professor Styx being back and she wasn't looking forward to more lectures or more lessons where she couldn't get her wand to work, but she was looking forward to seeing her friends since this was basically the only time they got to see each other. It just sucked that it had to be in a dark, boring classroom. As she walked in to the classroom in all its usually looming darkness that Professor Styx preferred, she wondered why the man didn't just request his classes be taught in the dungeons instead. Marisol took a seat beside Wyatt and Asaiah, smiling at them gloomily and didn't bother to take out her supplies to take notes. Even if she was actually excited to be here she knew the first lessons of the year were usually just revision from previous material or an overview of what they'd be learning.

She listened as Professor Styx began lecturing on the Unforgivable Curses. She didn't think many people would need reminding because those curses were not something anyone could just forget easily, Marisol still remembered the day she learned about them. As Professor Styx began asking questions, she saw her friends beside her answering them and thought nothing of it. But at the next question Professor Styx called on her even though she had not raised her hand. She scowled for a second at her friends as if it was their fault she had been called on, but hesitantly answered the question. "The Imperius Curse puts the target under the caster's control, the Cruciatus Curse causes someone immense torturous pain that can drive them mad, and the Killing Curses obviously kills the target," she answered. She was pretty sure she was correct but Professor Styx's cold gaze always made her feel like she was wrong. Thankfully he said she was correct so she felt like she could relax in her seat once more. As soon as class was over, Marisol sighed deeply because it meant she would have to go back to the dreaded common room, so she and her friends lingered longly to make the most of their short time together before being under house arrest once more.

seventh year | intelligent | bossy | asperger's syndrome

Lilyanna was very glad to be back at school. She had missed going to classes and learning new things and was quite proud of herself for the grades she managed to get last semester. The classes she had to do this semester she wasn't very good at but she hoped that, with the help of Andrew and Daniel, she'd be able to get through them. Her first class of the semester was Defence Against The Dark Arts. She made her way there with the rest of her year group and took her usual seat at the front of the classroom as she waited for the lesson to begin. She knew from the Slytherin house meeting that her head of house was not in a good mood, and so she stayed quiet as the professor asked questions and let other people answer them. She took as many notes as she could and left the classroom at the end of the lesson to head straight to her next class.

Eleanor didn't want to go back to school. School meant that she didn't have time anymore to go to the sweet shop and buy anything she wanted. Instead, it meant sitting in a classroom listening to boring lectures. On the bright side, at least she was able to see that boy from the Yuleball again if she had the chance to. As the girl entered the Defence Against The Dark Arts classroom, she took her usual seat in the room and waited for the lesson to begin. This year they would be learning about unforgivable curses and Ellie found them quite interesting. Sure, they were unforgivable, but to be able to see them with her own eyes and learn their effects was vital. She listened as her classmates answered the questions that were thrown at them and left the classroom at the end of the lesson satisfied.
