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.

Last lesson of defense against the dark arts was nice. The subject would never overthrow his love for astronomy, but at least it wasn't about spells. He liked the theory and to write it all down was a big plus. Maybe he was the only one that was still iffy about the piece of wood poking in his robe.

Jacob walked into the classroom and sat down. He had read up on the subject, it was the start of the year and he had free time. He could be such a dork at times. Jacob smiled and grabbed his writing gear. He was ready and waited for the Professor to start. The first boy looked normal, but the second one was horrid. He didn't even look human anymore. His face was all kinds of screwed up and Jacob was sure he didn't see a nose.

When the lesson came to an end Jacob was happy what he had written down. He then started on the homework and went to the library to research some more. He wanted to get a nice grade in this subject. It was endearing and he wanted to know more. He wasn't going to turn evil, but he was just curious.

Defence Against the Dark Arts Lesson 2

Dark Arts and the effect on the caster

If you start to go into the dark arts something has already snapped. One does not simply start going evil. It takes a whole mental process on the caster. It could be a need for power or immortality. You lack something and need to find it in the dark arts. At first your friends let you go and after your friends your family wants nothing to do with you. If that happens you are already in way too far. Without loved ones no one is there to stop you. So you continue on and then your personality and looks fade. You turn into something evil itself. Your soul will tear and if you continue this process. There is no way to stop it, you will become a feared wizard and people will hunt you down.

Kira walked into Defense Against the Dark arts, humming softly to herself. She found a seat next to Jacob and smiled as she sat down. She wasn't quite sure if they were friends, but she liked to think so. She pulled out the necessary supplies, setting her wand next to her quill. She listened closely as Professor Styx began to speak, jotting down a few things here and there.

When the first picture came onto the board, she wrote down his name. She knew who he was, but she still flinched when the next image came. He really was rather terrifying, wasn't he? If his fate was the fate of all who took the dark magic to such an extent, then who would dare risk it?

She jotted down the homework assignment quickly, turning it into the Professor before she left.

Defence Against the Dark Arts Lesson 2

Going into the dark arts can stem from both a need for power and a need for knowledge, though taken to such extremes can have severe consequences. The practice of such magic will lead to an insatiable need to be stronger, which will drive away those nearest to you. It will warp your soul, your mind, everything that you are until you are no longer the person you once were. This path is a dark, twisted road that usually ends in an ugly untimely demise. Even those who attempt to take this road for the noblest of reasons may find themselves lost.

Gerry walked determinedly into class. Being slightly scared of the professor hold her back from paying attention and doing well in this class. She sat down near her fellow Ravenclaws and pulled out her notes.

Professor Styx settled into a lecture and Gerry bent over parchment taking notes. One of the best things about coming to Hogwarts was absolutely everything was new to her. She had never heard of Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr. or Lord Voldemort. She wondered how anyone so evil hadn't turned up in muggle history classes. She was briefly caught up with how cool it was that the professor was able to make the image of Tom Riddle appear on the board, but Professor Styx's lecture was fascinating and he really was talking fast. Her hand flew across her parchment capturing his story. She wasn't sure whether this was a story to write about to her father though. He might not be so thrilled about hearing how evil and twisted a wizard could become. And the picture of Lord Voldemort was creepy. She had felt all of her muscles stiffen when he appeared on the board. He looked like a snake or someone had pulled a stocking over their face. If the professor hadn't said that he and the teenage boy were the same person, she would not have guessed. Still she wasn't surprised that someone that looked that evil would hate everyone. A lumpy uncomfortable feeling formed in her stomach at the thought of someone hating muggles like her dad, muggleborns like her so much that they would become something like that. It was oddly poetical that his visage had twisted into the monster he was.

Gerry was on a roll of the evil of the darks and with the image of the evil wizard still on the board, she wrote out the homework. Then she packed up and left the classroom. She had some modern magical history to catch up on.

Defence Against the Dark Arts Lesson 2

The Dark Arts are the pursuit of power at the expense of everything that make life worth living. The decent into the dark arts is slow and lonely. The first losses are close relationships with friends and family. Close relationships take time and effort to maintain. And the dark arts absorb all of a caster's time. It warps the caster's personality and eventually penetrates their soul to warp that too. Finally, the damage to the caster's soul becomes visible to all as it reshapes their physical appearance. The caster becomes as evil on the outside as they are on the inside. When this last stage becomes visible to the outside world, the caster has been on this dark path for a long time and they are too far gone.

Working on restraint.

[justify]Though Analei had enjoyed her first week back, she was not looking forward to her lesson with Professor Styx. She had gotten a lot of studying done, even made a new friend, but thinking of those things did not seem to push her mood up at all. The previous week Analei had wanted to sit in the front, had even raised her hand to answer a question, desperate to impress her Professor. While she still wanted to impress him, sitting in the front did not seem like a good idea anymore. Sticking to a friendly face, Analei followed Emilia to the back, where she sat and took out her parchment and quill, not wanting to be caught out. As the Professor began his lecture, Analei hurried to keep up on her notes with what he was saying. She almost couldn't take in the information as she focused on writing, but did look up as other students gasped, before letting out a small one of her own at the massive transformation of the student who turned evil. Analei paused for a second, glaring at the man that the Professor said was trying to purge the world of people who weren't "pure-blood". It made her furious and she gripped her quill hard, her knuckles turning white. The words of the Professor floated over her head until the picture disappeared from the board and Analei realized that she was still in class, not cursing the living daylights of the evil wizard. The homework assignment appeared, and as much as Analei loved all homework, she could easily say this one was going to be the best one yet.
