Class II: Year 1

[Alexander W. Black]

Things lately have been completely off and this included Alexander with lessons. He had to cut his next few lessons a little short since things have been a little complicated for the boy. With a sigh, Alexander entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, this time Alexander didn't have anything with him. Of course just his wand.

Heading towards the board, Alexander simply tapped it and the next appeared;

Hexes and Jinxes
What are they and what are the effects?

Taking a seat on his desk as he's done before, Alexander awaited. This time he was expecting less than the amount of students he had last class.

[sophieann]

Sophie-Ann had been hanging around outside the classroom for a couple of minutes before she entered. This was one class where she didn't worry for a second about being seen to be too keen.

When the appointed time came, she pushed the door open with considerable force, and trotted in, immediately taking up a place in the front row, and pulling out her stuff.

Sophie-Ann glanced at the board, and copied down the title written there, and then sat, looking intense, awaiting the arrival of the rest of the students and the beginning of the lesson. In her intensity, she hadn't even noticed that she'd forgotten to greet Mr. Black.

[emmawinters]

Emma entered the room as usual, books stacked as tall as the Eifel Tower in her arms. "Hello mister Black!" she said cheerfully, setting her books down. She smiled at Sophie and then drew out a fresh piece of parchment and her quill, setting them on her desk.

[jazziojazzio]

"Good morning Mr. Black." AnnaSophia said, smiling slightly as she entered the classroom for the second time. Last time, she didn't think she was doing too well and needed to work a little harder on getting to classes on time and such. That wasn't a good thing, to skip and all, or be late. She was determined to not be late for any more classes in the future.

She slid into a desk beside Emma and greeted her with a wide smile before pulling out her quill and bottle of ink. She then pulled out a fresh roll of parchment and placed it neatly on her desk, beaming at the flatness of it all. It looks so magical just sitting there, she still had no idea why she even thought of it that way. It must be something in the water... she guessed.

She picked up her quill carefully and dipped it into the ink. She let the excess ink drip back into the small bottle and then gracefully wrote her name in the top left hand corner with elegant calligraphy. She had taken calligraphy courses when she was younger, but had never really been the best at it, she needed practice. Until class began, she practiced brush strokes in front of her with her quill, now cleared of ink.

Alias awoke, not nervous about being late or anything, he'd done this before. Calmly getting ready for his day and class, Alias took a shower, threw on his robes and left the common room with a smile.
Walking down through the many deserted halls of Hogwarts, Alias realized he was seeing a ghost which had been following him all the way through that hall. Ignoring it, he kept walking - eyes straight forward, destined to get to his classroom WITHOUT getting lost.
Finnally, ariving in his class, Alias took a seat and looked at the board and then started to think about what he'd say, he planned to be more enthusiastic this class than before.

[trace12]

Great, another class of DADA. Nothing against it, just that normally he was so anxious with the upcoming quidditch match, he had completely forgotten about his grades. It was one of those times where you look out at the window and start to day dream about what you're going to do in the match. It was so nearby that it was like a big thing now, he had to prepare before it was time, so a lot of things were clouding his mind at the moment. He needed to get his mind straight and get to it with the classes. If he doesn't get his head straight, he might fail the 1st year, which would be a complete disgrace to his house and especially his parents which they would receive the greatest impact.

Ascending from the dungeons, with his head still back in his sleep, he forced himself to walk up the stairs and straight to DADA. Man...how long...when will I finally get to play....I'm excited already! The excitement rushed through his body, which awakened him up with a shock of anxiety. It wasn't long now, the match would be held soon. This kept on inside his head, paying no attention to the surprising burst of energy that he received, he was already approaching the class. The attention he gave toward his surrounding, burst the bubble of dream, he was close to the classroom, which gave him a feeling of massive work coming his way. These teachers only allow them to write, not once had he done a spell to be exact. This was beginning to bother him. He'd see these upperclassman doing spells at a seldom time, a place of magic should be filled with spells, but indeed it bothered him. The observant Trace was filled with another, rather, perspective thinking of the unlikely understood things around him. He rushed himself to the back of the class after sticking out his legs without much of a motion, mainly to catch a glimpse of what was on the board. As he approached the back of the class, he sat down with a bit of relief, because it seems like they were not going to do much, dispite of the fact that there was a question on the board, but because the teacher seemed unprepared for the class, simply a wand was carried to follow him. Finally, maybe this time he'll teach us spells, since we did nothing during the last class!

[maxx]

Maxx finally showed up for D.A.D.A class. First time here in the room but he will get use to it soon. That was for what he hopes in his life. There wasn't much people right now because the doors just open up for about three minutes now and there are always people early for a fresh start on learning! Who care alongs that you pass the exams at the end of the term then you would be O.K. for now and hopefully your friends will be there too!

Yes there were people that he didn't know so far besides himself and that one Ravenclaw boy. What's his name again Saven, yes it was Saven but he isn't there yet. Hopefully that he would be there soon. At the mean time he grabbed a seat in the back and grabbed his notebook with ink and his quill so he Maxx could write some notes down incase the T.A. will make him write them which was very likely.[/size]

[lottie]

Cheers for not being tardy to class! Charlotte was pretty happy about that. She'd been tardy to basically every class before this one, so it was a big accomplishment. Looking around for a second, she noticed Sophie-Ann and Annasophia, two girls she'd met at that first years party they'd held at the Quality Quarters. However, she really hadn't talked to them since and they weren't really friends much, so she decided to sit on her own. Maybe Holland would actually come to this class and keep her company. Or Chatwin; that would be gorgeous.

Sitting herself down in a chair at the back of the room, she took out her notebook and a Kuku Malu pen. It had a little dangly thing on the end with a frog on it. Cute. Anyways, she began doodling, the little froggy chain thing swinging away on the end of her pen. Hopefully someone would come soon entertain her, or at least have class start, because that would be better then sitting in the quietness of the room being bored.

[eveeee]

Evelyn walked into the classroom and took a seat in the back. She didnt bother to look around for anybody she knew. She got out her stuff and looked at the board. She wrote down the question and quietly began answering it.

Hexes and Jinxes
What are they and what are the effects?

[elleashford]

Elle walked rather clumsily into the classroom, skidding slightly in her attempt to actually be early for a class this time. Well, at least she was on time, that was something, wasn't it? She hurried over to a randomly picked desk and set her things down, before sitting down herself. She greeted the T.A. with a polite "Good morning!" Before glancing around the rest of the class to see if she knew anyone there. She spotted Emma, and Sophie-Ann, who she'd been introduced to last Transfiguration class. She shot them a brief smile before glancing at the chalk board.

Hexes and jinxes. Sounded exciting! She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, before pulling out a quill. She dipped it lightly in the murky black of the ink before scribbling down the heading on the board neatly. She'd been anticipating this class more than any other on her schedule. Defense Against the Dark Arts was said to be hard, but worth while. And though this was the second class, it was only Elle's first, so she supposed she'd have to find out herself.

[harlequin]

Okay so she missed the last class.But she had made it up.Sorta.Anyways she had asked a few of her fellow classmates outside of the classes what happened but this time she was early for classes.She was determined to never be late again.Even though she had missed the first class but she was caught up.Harley walked into the classroom and took a seat silently.She was early.What a surprise .Harley glanced at the board.Hexes and Jinxes.

Ok she was so ready.She knew maybe a little but she needed more help.But she really did not want to answer an questions because she was not confident with her answer so she kept it to herself.She took out her quill and layed it down next to her notebook just in case she would have to take notes about the two.Harley stared at the board with her icy blue eyes as if trying to see if the answer was hidden within.

[holly]

Holland has missed the first lesson. Way to go, kid. But he was determinded to make it to the second one, and on time too. So, he made his way through the corridors, have no trouble finding that classroom at all; even though this place still confused him a bit. The changing stairways and the trick doors and such. It was all very frustrating at times.

Slipping into the classroom, dark green eyes saw a shock of red and black hair in the back of the classroom. Charlotte. Smiling, he made his way over to her, sinking into the desk next to her. "Boo," he said to her, eyes traveling to the board. His had titlted to the side slightly as he read the question; one that he didn't know the answer to.

[yanni]

Yanni walked into his second Defence Against The Dark Arts lesson. He was happy to be there. He'd had a good night sleep the night before, and hadn't woken up too early either. Just the right amount of sleep. And there was no distubences. The night before last Yanni had recieved an owl at 2am, and the night before that a boy in his dorm couldn't stop throwing up. Yanni missed his overly large bedroom, always so clean and tidy. A lot better then having to share a room with other people.

In the class, Yanni spotted only one boy to whom he knew his name. Maxx. He'd remembered from last role class. Taking a seat next to him at the back of the classroom Yanni introduced himself. "I'm John," he said in a loud tone. "You're Maxx, right?" he said, already knowing the answer He took out pen and paper and wrote the lesson topic in his margin. Just for something different.

[maxx]

-It was fun while it lasted-

There was only one voise was was close enough that someone would talk to him. He turned to his left side and saw a Ravenclaw first year, maybe about his age. Maxx didn't know him but apperently that the kid knew him. That was scary to him. First only knowing one peoson was good enough on the first week and the next week another person. Yay this would be fun. One peoson first a week. One peoson maybe on the third week. Maxx doesn't like to count down time. Time is the worst thing in the world that happen to him.

"O.K. yes I am Maxx and how do you know me? Maxx asked him. Normally it was better if he said his own name to someone that he didn't know than someone that he doesn't know telling his own name with Maxx's name with it. Scary. That was in his mind with only one word to describe the reaction.[/color]

[chelsea]

No one he knew. Letting a sigh escape her lips, she merely sat at the back of the classroom, her eyes wide and plastered to the board, as she prepared to take notes. Papers were neatly arranged in front of her, and her quill was already present.

So class could start, anytime really.

[isaac]

Woohoo. Second Defense Against the Dark Arts time. The first class had been interesting, which lead Isaac to have the same optimism about this one. This Black fellow seemed to know what he was talking about most of the time. How intriguing. Except... not really.

Isaac slipped inside the classroom a few minutes after Chelsea walked in. The book bag he carried everywhere with him was dangling from one shoulder as he paused to look around. Out of everyone already in class, he knew three of them. They were all girls. He really needed to get some guy friends around here.

The Ravenclaw smiled at both Evelyn and Emma before he selected a seat near Chelsea. He dropped his backpack to the floor and smiled at her as well. It was good to be polite, right? Right. "Hey.

[/color]"[/font][/blockquote]

[yanni]

"I've seen you around in class a bit. We take most of the same classes. Didn't mean to freak you out by knowing your name and all," Yanni said in a quite tone. After writing down the topic for the lesson, Yanni placed his pen down.

[gerardturner]

Oh magiic! It was the wonderful Defence Against the Dark Arts class today. He was quite the excited ickle chappy ;]

A smile beamed upon his plump lips as he skipped to class. Gawd, such a girl. But no. Boys were aloud to skip too. There was nothing saying he couldn't. So case closed. Boys were aloud to skip whenever they damm pleased. As said by Gerard. You had to love him really. He happily entered the classroom nevertheless, stopping skipping straight away incase he bashed into anything.

Smiles to the class, and the T.A. He sat beside the Ravenclaw Girl {chelsea}. However he didn't speak, but awaited her too.

[/size][/color][/font]

[chelsea]

It seemed that everyone she knew was trickling in, and as she nodded to Isaac, she felt inclined to reply him too, lest he think she be ignoring him. Something which she didn't wish he think. 'Ohaiyo...'

[/color] The word slipped out of her mouth, as she fingered the corner of a piece of paper, herself feeling awkward.

And then, at that moment, yet another came to join them. She gave a sidewards glance towards the newcomer, who promptly took a seat beside her, on the other side where Isaac was not sitting. She now then fully turned her head in his direction, and gave a nod. 'Hello...'[/color][/blockquote][/size][/font]

[siren]

Another class! It was good, because Brenda was getting kind of bored. But that was okay. School was always there for her... Oh, that didn't sound right at all. It made her sound like a homework geek or something. That was how Brenda walked in, blinking and smiling at the whole weirdness of the sentence structure. I probably didn't mean that, she thought, encouraging herself.

After a brief look around, she didn't see anyone she recognized. Well, she recognized them from other classes, but she didn't know them, really, and they certainly wouldn't consider her a friend. She remembered yesterday, when she'd met Tall Boy in the forbidden forest. His name - Oops. I probably shouldn't be bragging about my forest adventures in the presence of a teacher... she thought as she took a seat by herself. That wouldn't do good for my reputation. Totally forgetting about the tall guy, she glanced at the board and settled herself to taking out a notebook and pen. No wands today, apparently.
