Going over spells that the class already knew left Professor Styx in a foul mood. However if someone dared complain, they would have their head on a plate and served to the Whomping Willow. However the students needed to learn these, even if they did not want to. It was all for the OWL course. He understood it and had to go through it himself half a century ago. Professor Styx left the doors open to allow some students to enter in early, as he situated himself in the front of the classroom, leaning against the desk for support. His arms crossed over his chest, and his Slytherins would know by now that gesture would mean to settle down and get prepared. His onyx eyes were cold and stern, as he wanted them to be. He could show so much through those gleaming eyes or so little.

Today was a lesson on the Body-Bind Curse, Petrificus Totalus, a charm they all knew quite well and probably practiced it to master it by this point in time, though this lesson would simply be about why it was a curse and the general idea of it. Once the students were accounted for, Professor Styx waved his hand and the doors and they shut with a click. Once again, the greeting was absent, and he got right into what they were doing today, "Today is a review and an explanation of the 'Body-Bind Curse. I expect you all to know the incantation, which we will not be going over as it would be a general waste of time. However what is not a waste of time is seeing why this is a curse and not a jinx. Could someone give the class their opinion?" Professor Styx saw a few hands raise, and he chose on two students to give out their opinions on why the spell was a curse.

Once they were finished, Professor Styx was nearly impressed, but this was merely review for them. He continued on, "This simple curse, as you all know, causes the body to become rigid. The incantation itself stems from Latin 'petrificare' to make into stone, and 'totalis' or entire." Professor Styx did not expect any notes, as all of them should know what it does, but at least they know a little more on the Latin stems that the spell comes from. Today seemed more like a Latin lesson than it did a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson. Shrugging, Professor Styx concluded, "Now you are free to leave the classroom without any homework over a spell you've already known." Professor Styx waved and the doors opened to allow the students to leave his classroom.

Assignment: Roleplay the lesson. First two posters answer the question.

Abigail Carter arrived in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and took a seat. She wasn't sure that she really liked this class or saw the use in it. If you came up against the dark arts it usually led to death and not the other way around. She listened to the professor speak and rolled her eyes when they were devoting an entire lesson to a spell that they had learned in their first year. How pointless could you make things? She didn't care enough to answer the question, though she knew all about the spell. She listened as the others answered the questions the professor asked and then she left when the class had been dismissed.
