Professor Styx was leaning against the desk in his classroom, and watched the second years file into the class. He thought that everyone was here, and he mentally took role. Professor Styx narrowed his eyes onto the students and he started the lesson, "Greetings, students. Today, we will be learning about the Ear Leeks jinx, Stinging jinx, and the Trip jinx." Professor Styx waited to see what their expressions were when he told them about the jinxes were. Now he would have to question them to test their knowledge. He questioned, "Who can tell me what these three jinxes can do to the victim?" Hands were raised, and then Professor Styx pointed at a student who seemed like they knew. They got the answer right, and he nodded once to tell them that they were as well. "The Ear-Leeks jinx is rather painful and more or less a nuisance. It can be easily fixed however. The Stinging jinx is exactly what it says it is. It causes a stinging sensation, causing red welts as well as severe inflammation on the affected area. This jinx has been reported as being used on muggles to make them believe they have been 'stung' or 'bitten' by some form of yellow-jacket." Everyone seemed to be keeping up with what he was saying about the jinxes. At least they appeared to be and he could tell when someone was truly not listening thanks to his intuition. Professor Styx continued on, "The Tripping jinx trips the victim, obviously. Though it is less obvious to see who exactly used this jinx as well." Professor Styx figured that they were going to be practicing these jinxes anyway. He did not care as long they were not Slytherins or else he would have to deal with them. The bell rang and Professor Styx dismissed the class without any homework. Assignment: Roleplay the lesson.Defence Against the Dark Arts,2,4 |

Mervyn had only just managed to complete his Jelly-Legs Jinx essay in time for his next Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and was a bit worried that his first draft would disappoint Professor Styx. Still, at least he could say he'd tried, which was more than he'd done for Charms (in his defence, his homework assignment really had been eaten by a cat). After sheepishly handing it in, Mervyn sat down and prepared himself to take notes on the spells they were studying that day. He knew what the Ear Leeks and Trip jinxes did, but unsure about the Stinging jinx, he let somebody else answer the question, writing down the answer so that he would know it next time somebody asked. The Trip jinx sounded like a lot of fun - Mervyn made a mental note to try it out when the opportunity next arose - but the others just seemed unpleasant. He guessed DADA wasn't supposed to be a pleasant class, but he was still disappointed. After taking as many notes as his hand could bear, he packed away and headed out. |

Len didn't see the purpose in Defense against the dark arts. She did know it was necessary to know what was out there and what to expect, but she didn't like to do it on others. Len walked into the classroom and sat down. She was almost a third years and was wondering which subject she should let go next year. Defense Against the Dark Arts wasn't really needed if you wanted to be Herbologist so she wasn't sure if she kept the subject. The Professor started to talk and Len knew the answer to the question. When no one seemed to want to answer it Len her hand rose up in the air and she tried her best to answer it. ''Well, the first one makes leeks sprout from ones ears, the second causes a stinging sensation that makes red welts appear and the third one makes the victim trip and fall down'' Len was sure that was the longest sentence she had ever spoken in a lesson. It was frightening, but at the same time it felt good to be right. Len wrote the rest of the jinxes down and waited for the lesson to come to its end. They didn't have to do the jinxes on others and there was no homework today. Which was a big plus in Len her book. |

Athena knew that the duelling tournament was going on, but she had had no interest whatsoever in it. Maybe she would reconsider it next year, though she liked what activities she was doing already. Between homework and spending time with her friends, it didn't leave a lot of options open, but she knew deep down even that was an excuse. Still, she didn't want to be overly busy. She didn't think getting more involved would make others like her more, which was the reason she joined clubs - besides enjoying whatever she became part of, she wanted others to know the nice her, not the real her. That didn't always work out. She was in second year and already made one or two enemies she would rather not even see or think about. She glanced at Professor Styx when the lesson finally began and everyone had arrived. She doubted people would test the man‘s patience and if they did - too bad for them. As long as Athena herself didn't get in trouble with her head of house, but then again, as intimidating as he was, Athena was learning that he wasn't as scary as people made him out to be. He asked a question and she rolled her eyes as one of the other girls answered it, she didn't have anything against her - she didn't even know what her name was - but she had wanted to be picked instead. The Ear-Leeks jinx they were learning about wasn't a pleasant one to think about and the second year smirked. If she learned how to cast it, it would be a great prank to pull on someone. April Fool‘s. It did sound painful, however. She mentally cheered when they weren't given homework, but then again it was one less assignment to prove to her head of house that she was good at school - and she could rub it in her brother‘s face. When she made sure she didn't forget anything, she left the classroom. |
