Professor Styx glanced up at the time and he realized that it was, once again, time for the first years to return to their lessons, and this time, he had to teach them. This lesson was about a certain someone that he knew all about - even met once or twice. Professor Styx was in fact a Death Eater a long time ago, but has left since the Dark Lord's fall. He was doing his job though, as a professor for the time being. And it suited him. He took role mentally, and he stood up to begin the lesson once more. His onyx eyes washed over the expressions the first years had. They were not going to enjoy this lesson, however it was full of information that they would need. He began, "The Dark Arts are not to be meddled with, and most of you have thought, well why not? The question will be answered this class period. We will learn the consequences of the Dark Arts, and also of someone who had meddled with them a little too much." The emotions on his face were stone-like, and unreadable. He continued, "Notes will be required as well for this lesson, and I will not slow down on this lecture. You all should know that the punishment for performing Dark Arts is Azkaban, which is the wizarding prison guarded by Dementors in cause some of you are unfamiliar with the wizarding world." Professor Styx paused for a moment, to ensure that everyone was taking in the information that he was giving them. "If some of you think that you would not get caught, then it is untrue as the signs are inevitable." Professor Styx flourished his wand and he tapped the blackboard behind him and an image appeared. ![]() Professor Styx saw that some if not all of the students were confused on who this Slytherin student was. He continued on, "This is a former Hogwarts student named Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr.. He is a mass murderer, torturer and also an abuser of the Dark Arts. He is seventeen here, and he had been practicing the Dark Arts for a while during this time. As you can see, he looked somewhat normal. He had little to no friends at all, and distanced everyone from him." Professor Styx watched as the other students seemed to be taking notes. "You should remember this as what your parents and grandparents would describe him as." He tapped the board again and another image appeared. ![]() Several students gasped as the picture went through their little minds. "This would be Lord Voldemort, a self given name, and he had once tried to take over the wizarding world and purge it of all the muggles, muggle-borns and blood traitors alike. He had gone further than anyone of using the Dark Arts, even of some of which that we would not dare name. Using the Dark Arts like this will take a huge toll on your appearance, your personality and your soul. The Dark Arts will tear you away from your loved ones and those that love you." Professor Styx tapped the board again and the picture melted off of the board, and replaced with the homework assignment. Though he went over the words that he thought and shook his head. He instead wrapped up the lesson and continued, "The assignment is an essay on the Dark Arts and the effects on the caster. You are to have it ready by the next time you set foot in here. Class is dismissed." Professor Styx crossed over and sat behind the desk, the doors opening to allow the students to leave the classroom. Assignment: Roleplay the lesson and do the assignment. This is the header you use for the assignment. Defence Against the Dark Arts,1,2 |

She had defense against the dark arts class after her break and Len walked to the class filled with energy. She wiggled in the chair once she sat down and waited for the Professor to begin. Professor Styx scared her and she didn't want anything to do with him. She was so glad that she wasn't sorted in Slytherin, if she had him as her head of house she would probably break down in tears and cry a lot. The class today was interesting to say the least. It was about a handsome boy being turned almost inhuman due to using the dark arts. The matter was interesting and Lenore wondered if there was a reverse spell for such proces. But once your soul was gone, it wouldn't return or grow back. His story was horrible and Len listened with full shock. She was almost sad for the boy, he missed something in his life and that made him who he was. No one was born evil in Lenore her eyes, no baby was born with hatred installed. It was created and made by parents, friends or the environment. It was just awful that they had to live in a world where this happened. When the professor ended, she was glad. She didn't want to hear more about his story. She left the classroom and felt almost sad that this had happened. |

Defence Against the Dark Arts was something Fleur had looked forward to for a long time, and though she still thought it would be fun and useful to actually learn to defend yourself without magic but with muggle weapons (swords, for example), learning magic would be pretty dang awesome too. She hoped today they would learn some awesome spell to block dark spells, or maybe one that would turn a dark evil wizard into a small and cute bunny. But when she took her seat and looked at the emotionless face of the professor, she got the feeling that wasn't about to be the case. He told them they would learn about the consequences of the Dark Arts, and at least that might be cool in a sort of gruesome way. She sighed when he said notes would be required, but she figured he wouldn't come look if they were any good. So she took half-hearted notes at best, more focused on listening to the lecture than trying to write it down. The image of the boy looked like any normal Hogwarts stdent, and she wondered if maybe it was his grandson or something. Then she realized her mistake as he showed the second picture. She gaped, she really hadn't expected this. She knew about Voldemort, of course, but she hadn't expected to see him as a kid. It was a weird experience, and it made her think differently about dark magic in a way. She noted down some of the consequences the dark arts could have, as the professor's words sent a chill down her spine. Then she gathered her things and headed out of the classroom soon after, forgetting to write down the homework for next week in her hurry. Her mind was still focused on the shocking lesson and she wondered what else they would learn in this class. It wasn't half-bad even if it was sort of spooky. |

Amelia had to admit she was fascinated by the dark arts and the more she read the more interesting the subject became. The Gryffindor made her way into the classroom and too her seat for what would hopefully be an interesting Defence against the dark arts lesson. After briefly talking about Azkaban, Professor Styx put up a photo of a boy. Slytherin robes, prefect badge, cute, but Amelia wasn't sure what he had to do with the dark arts. Professor Styx announced that he was called Tom Riddle and his connection to the dark arts soon became apparent. Amelia took a sharp intake of breath when she saw the second image. The effects of the dark arts were quiet clear, they had taken a young handsome boy and turned him into a monster. Amelia scrambled to take notes on as much of the professor's words as was possible and she also made a note of the homework assignment. When the lesson was over she packed away her things, the lesson had been quite shocking and had definitely left a lasting impression on the Gryffindor. |

[justify]Jocelynn was enjoying her time thus far at the school. She had made a couple of friends already and was looking forward to making more. She moved into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and sat nearby her dorm mates and pulled out her notes to make sure she got down everything the Professor talked about. He seemed like a very serious person and Jocelynn wanted to be very serious person as well making sure to keep any giggles at bay for the length of the class. Today they listened to a lecture about a very serious and very scary time that happened not that long ago, about 50 years in the past. While, she hadn't been alive, her grandparents had been, they didn't talk much about Tom Riddle and his lust for power. [/justify] |

Charlotte was very excited for her next lesson of Defence Against the Dark Arts. She couldn't wait to learn more and to impress Styx with what she already had prepared. As she entered the lesson she looked around to the students and saw Styx in front of her, she took place all the way in the front and looked at his onyx eyes. The subject that they would be getting of seemed interesting and the blonde was ready to take some notes. When a image appeared of a handsome slytherin student the blonde smiled, a slytherin why was this a example she thought. But when she heard the name of the boy she knew where this was going too. When another image appeared the blonde saw other people gasped. So ugly the blonde thought. This was Lord Voldemort and she didn't heard of a more evil creature before, because you couldn't really say he was a man there. Than there was suddenly homework and the blonde was going to work on it directly after class. She left the room after nodding to Styx because she had learned the man didn't liked talking that much.

Jasmine walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and took a seat near the back of the room with Grayson and waited for the Professor to begin the lesson. Jasmine didn't know what to think of her Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, and the fact that he was her head of house too made her judgement no less clear. She was definitely scared of him but didn't know what to think of his teaching. She got out her writing things and prepared to take notes on the ominous lecture about the Dark Arts. She wrote down as much as she could before Professor Styx's lecture had ended and made a note of the homework too. She sighed and looked at Grayson and rolled her eyes, she didn't want to write another essay already. She packed away her things and left the classroom with her twin. |

Hermione made her way into the classroom for Defence against the dark arts classroom, ignoring Professor Styx as she passed him to take her seat. She took out her parchment and writing equipment and waited for the man to begin his lecture. The lesson started with a quick introduction about the affects of using the dark arts and then a photo of a young man appeared on the board. He was quite cute but Hermione suspected whoever the man was, his story didn't end well if Professor Styx was using him as an example of what happens when you use dark magic. As expected, the next photo that appeared was the same person after using dark magic. Hermione grimaced at the sight of it, dark magic clearly wasn't something to be taken lightly, the message was loud and clear. At the end of the lesson Hermione put away her notes and when dismissed she left the classroom. |
