Class I: Year 3

[Alexander W. Black]

With one class down, Alexander was up for another challenge, now he had to face something more difficult. He wasn't exactly sure what the previous Teacher Assistant had taught all the other students. Maybe even so, Alexander would be teaching the same thing they've have learned before, but wouldn't it be better for them? Easy points right? The glory! Well either way, Alexander was going to try to attempt to cover what exactly they needed to know, and get them ready for Professor Salinas.

With a sigh, and a tap on the board, Alexander took a different book this time, instead of what he had picked on his first years and well read on. On the board the following faded in:

Welcome back, hope everyone had a spledid vacation!

Review

Taking a sugar stick from inside his black robe, Alexander looked over a few things on dementors. A class he'd taken very seriously in the times with Professor Salinas. Boy was classes with him pretty difficult. Reminds him of the time when the Professor was talking about Lethifolds. Gives Alexander goosebumps. But anyways, now all that was needed was for students to fill in the empty desks.

[You have 42 hours to get to class or you're considered late]

[Brayden Christiansen]

The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class was today. Supposedly it was to be tought by a graduate from last year. Who knows? Maybe Brayden had seem him wandering around the school before. Brayden made his way into the classroom, bag full of schoolbooks and such. He sat down in a desk near the front of the classroom and took out his wand from the inside pocket of his robes.

Sadly, he put the wand back, after he read that today they would be having a review. Apparently, students were supposed to remember what they learned from last year. Brayden sighed and looked out the window, hoping that another student would join him soon.

[Ashkir Devereux]

Rawr. Ashkir Nightshade took two terms off of Trio's Hogwarts. Should've been in this fifth term but something came up. Back at school the fifteen year old had to complete his education. Ready to go. Books in bookbags, pens, parchment.

Two notes carefully folded in his hand both from Nyna Adustum. One asking him to join the Quidditch team the other a pre dance meeting. He already had a date with somebody from his house. Glancing at Alexander he nodded reconizing him from being here two terms ago.

Seeing Brayden Ashkir nodded as well. Taking a set in the front, middle desk. Staring at the front of the room, nothing out on his desk. Slowly pulling his wand out he muttered the words, "Accio parchment," "Accio quill," "accio ink blue, red, black." All sitting down on his desk, he smiled.

[brendan]

DADA; he failed miserably at this class. Probably because last term had been such a fluke, with the TA hardly ever being there. He gave a shake of head, as he entered the classroom, smiling at people who were already there. Gathering a seat at the back, he hoped that the rest of the spots would fill up with familiar faces. If anything, Brendan hated going to classes by himself. It was.. lame, of sorts.

Running a hand through his hair, as he dropped his sling bag onto his table, he sat down, resting against it. It was rather comfy, made a good pillow. Yes, Brendan intended to 'rest' for a while, before class started. It never hurt to have some extra sleep time, didn't it? Of course, he propped his head such that it was conveniently facing the TA, in case lesson suddenly started.

[gryphon]

Wow. She was the first girl in the classroom. Now that was an odd thing to stumbled across at Hogwarts, really with the endless amount there was... And she was early too. The small, blonde girl had taken in all these aspects all at once on entering the DADA class. Also she had taken into account the new teacher assistant, whom she smiled friendly at.

Making her way to the back of the classroom Gryphon took a seat next to the alone Brendan. Poking him as he half lay there on the desk looking towards the front of the classroom. "Taking it easy huh?" She smiled setting out some paper and a pen ready for what ever they would be learning. If any one took too many notes in the entire school, it would have to be Gryphon.

[aiden]

Aiden was excited! Defense Against the Dark Arts, another one of his favorite classes. His MCR messenger hit his legs as he walked. He was so ready to learn. He walked into the classroom and looked around. A few people were there already. He walked over to a desk in the middle and sat down. He rested his bag next to him and pulled out his notebook. Couldn't be to ready to write anything down right?

[grobanitexd]

"Hey, sleepyhead, you gotta get ready for some hardcore learning," Aaliyah said loudly to Brendan as she came into the classroom. "We aren't first years you know." She grinned broadly as she sat in her first DaDa class as a third year. Yup, she had already made it this far and she was not going to stop. She glanced around at the other two third years who she did not recognize. She smiled at them politely before turning to Gryphon.

"What's up?" she asked as she began to take out her notebook and pencil. She was going to satisfy her goal this term of passing each and every one of her classes with flying color. Including potions...yuck...

[`friday augustine ross]

Bella entered the classroom and looked at the board. Whoa. Review? About what, thought Bella. Maybe the things they've learned aver the time. But Bella couldn't remember that. It was last term's things and Bella is not good with remembering what they did last term. If only she could remember. That was something she needed to do. If only her brother was here.

But no. Where was he? Probably somewhere else. Transferred did he? At least that was what he said. He had transferred to this other school. School would have been easier if only Alex was here.

[filmodirectii]

As time goes on, time was coming back to normal. The classes were restarting, going to new lessons and meeting old friends or classmates. Class Schedules were pretty handy though. Without it, Gyminee would be late to class. It's not like she wasn't ever going to be late, it was just that at least she would know a certain time/date for her to go to class.

As the new term approaches, Gyminee notices that many new TA's and professors are lurking the classrooms of Hogwarts. So, when Gyminee went to her DADA class, she wasn't very surprised to see an unfamiliar face in the front of the classroom. Gyminee walked to her desk, waiting for others to enter and for the teacher to start the lesson. To make time fly by, Gyminee read the following:

Welcome back, hope everyone had a spledid vacation!

Review

[kerajonson]

It was time for the first DADA lesson. Kera walked toward the class, slightly looking forward to the class. This was one of the classes she felt she was pretty good at, but didn't enjoy it nearly as much as transfiguration. Approaching the door to the classroom, she pushed it open and walked into the room. There were already eight other students in the room, and Kera could tell right away that she wasn't late.

Taking a seat in the first open seat she saw, Kera took out the supplies she'd be needing for this class and read the board. So, today would be a review lesson. It couldn't hurt to brush up on what they had learned previously, right? Taking out a blank piece of parchment, she decided to draw a little as she waited for class to start.

[Alexander W. Black]

[Ashkir, 'Accio' is a fourth year spell, please look over the Standard Book Of Spells. We'll just leave your post as you took your materials by hand.]

Putting the sugar stick and the book away, Alex looked up and found only around nine students in the classroom. It's pretty much exactly what he had expected. As later on, students moved on into higher years, the less their class began to decrease. Why? Because of the lack of activity. With a shrug, Alexander got of his desk, and faced the few students.

"Good day to all. I'm Alexander Black, as you may already know, I'm the new Teacher Assistant for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Well, may I first begin that I will attempt to cover things that your previous T.A. didn't touch at all. If the case is that you've already learned what I'll be covering for you this year, that'll just mean you'll get easy points right?" Smiling, Alexander crossed his arms and paced in front of the board.

"Now, since you guys are third years, that means of course that soon enough you'll graduate to be fourth years, meaning you won't be having me as a teacher anymore but Professor Salinas which is an excellent teacher. My favorite out of all when I was here as a student. I'll be preparing you few for his classes next term and so on." Biting his bottom lip, playing with his lip piercing Alexander began, tapping on the board the following appeared.

Curses-

Hexes-

Jinxes-

What are they?

[/center]

"The first thing is first. I'll be going through simple things you must've learned already and I expect for everyone to know the answer to every question. At least the following ones, because the first thing to be reviewed if first year things. Now can anyone tell me what are Curses, Hexes and Jinxes. No one needs to write any of the following down, so parchment and quills won't be necessary but that's just an option. Well now, anyone would like to answer the question? Again, What are curses, hexes and jinxes?[/font][/blockquote][/color]

[grobanitexd]

"Aren't they all basically the same thing?" Aaliyah asked. "They're all spells that are an offensive move in a duel. I guess the differences would be the severity of the spell. Jinxes are simple and easily reversed while curses can last a life time." She shrugged. She was not really sure how much she had learned the last two terms as the teacher was not exactly sufficient.

[taylormendez]

Taylor entered into the DADA classroom with her messenger bag slung over her should, which heavily weighted her down. The aching pain in her shoulder throbbed, though she winced a little as when she finally settled at one of the unoccupied tables. Smiling at the newly TA, she took a seat and looked to the board for today's lesson. Then taking a piece of parchment out and her ink-filled quill, she jotted down the words curses, hexes, jinxes.

[brendan]

He was poked by Gryphon, and as he rudely sat up in his seat, he muttered an 'Ow!' A frown directed towards her, he rubbed his sore side. 'Fragile skin! I protest! Hurting of the innocents, tsk tsk.'

[/color] A smile that was painted on his face, as he leaned his elbow on the table, resting his chin in the palm of his hand.

His eyes threatened to close again, when he heard Liyah. A sigh that escaped his lips, he threw his hands up in the air, attempting a French accent once he spoke. 'Sacre bleu! I give up! I shan't sleep anymore!'[/color] he said in a defeated voice, as he leaned back into his seat, crossing his arms. A wink towards his fellow teammate, as he replied to her earlier comment, 'And I know that, that's why I'm in the class for Third Years, thank you.'[/color]

Class started, and as he listened, he nodded in agreement to Liyah's answer. Yup, sounded perfectly agreeable to him, anyway. So, back to staring at the board, and praying he wasn't going to fall asleep.[/font][/color][/size][/blockquote]

[robotboy]

Grr. Dezi was late. He really needed to start coming to classes on time or something. He didn't want to lose precious Mihael points, after all, or Avery would literally kill him because she tried really hard to get points. Walking into the classroom, he sat down at a desk and took out a notepad and pen. He needed to write notes, that was just the way he learned. Because he could look over it later and be able to study. He hated that Ms. Lupin, the Transfiguration teacher, didn't want anyone to write notes at all. He didn't find that fair, since that's the best way he learned.

Anyways, he looked up at the Teacher Assistant. Mr. Black, was his name, he thought. Glancing at the board, he furrowed his brow, trying to think of what the differences were between the three. Surprisingly, he knew the answer. Raising his hand, he said, "Well, a hex is a spell that puts bad effects on a person, and it can be reversed easily. A jinx is like when you put bad luck on a person. And a curse is meant to cause very bad harm on a person. It's more severe than a hex."

Hoping he was right, he waited for the response from the Teacher Assistant.

[vivian]

Vivian walked into the classroom and took a seat next to Brendan. She knew that she was late, and she was very sorry for it. She hadn't meant to be late. Her mind had been sort of confused what with the term starting back and everything. "Hey." she said softly to Brendan before turning her attention to the teacher.

[telly]

[/i] sound as they hit the floor, the small girl breathed heavily. A few more passes of the crazy-confusing corridors, Chantal finally found the daddy room.

Taking slow, quiet steps, the third year made her way to the back of the room. Hopefully out of sight from the professor. Taking out her supplies, Missus Hurley listened attentivly to the conversation proceeded. Hnn, Dezi sounded rather smart. She never knew the kid, but he seemed like a nice boy. Too bad he just knows her as 'Jackson’s sister'. Well, Telly only knows him as 'Avery's brother' so I guess it evens out. =/[/color][/size][/font][/ul]

[brady]

Brady was late for the first class this year. It wasn't such a good start but he could improve things if he got an alarm clock and woke up earlier.... Somehow.

He walked into DADA as they were in the middle of th class. He quietly crept to a seat nearest to him and sat down. He organised his things on his desk while the lesson went on. He looked up at the board... reveiw? He wondered on what but tuned in to find out instead of day dreaming along and guessing ideas...
