Professor Styx looked as though he had not moved an inch from the last lesson, as he was leaning against his desk with his arms folded across his chest. The second years were soon to arrive and once everyone was seated, Professor Styx had a really good question for them all, but he doubted that one would not have the correct answer as much as an opinion. Once the doors were shut, and the class had settled down, Professor Styx got their attention with his difficult question, "Who can tell the class why we would study Prank-like Jinxes in this class, when they are not dark in nature?" The first student raised their hand, and once Professor Styx gestured for them to continue, they gave the class their opinion. Silent, he motioned to another student to hear their answer as well. "I would not say that you are correct, nor would I say that you got the answer wrong. However, why I am teaching you this is because as a second year, none of you would have any hope to survive against advanced Dark Magic, let alone cast it." Professor Styx wanted to get this through their heads before they would even try to go out and face someone in his allies and hope to survive. Most of them would not hurt a kid, but if Professor Styx was not a professor, and someone met him in a dark alley, that would be a different story. "You may pick up on curses and jinxes in your books that may seem funny and harmless, however when you use them on each other... That is where I come in. I will teach you how to recognize these jinxes and curses as well as reverse them when used on you." Now that the class seemed to know why Professor Styx was teaching them what they might find enjoyable, he continued on, "Most of these jinxes can be countered and or blocked by the spells that were taught the previous year. However, this year will be mostly theory." They would not be enjoying the lesson so much but he could care less. He was doing his job, and when the students were miserable but getting stronger in magic, he knew that he was doing his job right. "Today, we will begin the Knee-reversal jinx. You will be writing me an essay on this jinx, it can include, but is not limited to, the jinx's effect, use, reasons for use, reasons for creating such a spell." Professor Styx wondered how many different reasons why the jinx would have been created to begin with. "You have a basis to work on. This jinx is obviously used as a prank, but also is a rather cruel way to have someone stop walking to fail to walk decently." Professor Styx waved his hand at the door, and they opened slowly to allow the students to leave the classroom. "You have until next lesson to turn these in. Class is dismissed." Professor Styx did not wish to have any lingering students try out this jinx in his presence. Assignment: Roleplay the lesson and do the assignment.Defence Against the Dark Arts,2,2 |

After being back for a week, Fleur felt like was getting used to being in school again. Now that Christmas was over, the second semester moved along quickly. For some reason, it always felt to her like it went faster than the first. Soon the valentine's dance would be upon them. Though, Fleur had no real interest in such a thing. She was mostly happy the weather was still warm, she loved being outside. She took her seat in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, ready for the lesson. Even if she preferred practical lessons, she always found lectures in Defence to be somewhat interesting. Professor Styx started his lesson by warning them that they would have no hope to survive against advanced Dark Magic. She didn't really think anyone needed that reminder, they were just kids. She started to take some notes, writing down that most of the jinxes and curses can be countered and blocked by spells they had learned in the first year. The jinx they were covering in this lesson was the Knee-reversal jinx. It sounded funny, though the idea of writing an essay about it sounded less funny. Fleur sighed and noted down the homework before adding a few more notes about what the professor mentioned as additional information. The way he talked about how it would make someone unable to walk gave her the creeps. Leave it to Professor Styx to make a prank-jinx sound that omnious. |

A week had already past and Len could barely remember what she had done this holiday. Homework and schoolwork was piling up again and it made her time slim down once more. She was glad she didn't have like other things next to it. The Wild patch club was fun and that was something she did on the side, but she couldn't do more. Len walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and waited for the lesson to start. She hoped for a lecture, since she didn't like to do jinxes or spells on others. When the Professor asked a question Len her hand rose up in the air. She thought she knew the answer and tried to answer it when she was picked. ''Well, Jinxes can still do damage so it is considered as dark magic.'' Len thought she had answered the question right, but the Professor seemed to pick someone else as well after her. How could it be that she was both wrong and right. Len didn't get it anyone and just let it go. Jinxes were blocked easily and Len knew she had to be on her toes. Hogwarts had no ban on magic so she could be ambushed at any minute now. She knew how people worked and they weren't always nice. When the Professor said this year would be mostly theory Len was glad. She didn't want to try out any jinxes and spells. When the class was over Len left and smiled. It wasn't as bad as she had remembered the class. |
