DADA Lesson 1 – Years 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

This time, Gillian arrived first to the DADA classroom. she enjoyed the familiar layout of one of her favourite, even if harder, classes at school: a class room emptied of all desks but the professor's, and that anticipation lingering in the air.

She smiled at prof. Newbury and greeted him shyly; "good morning professor" the girl said; she still found it awkward to talk with some people, specially when she had as much respect for them. Without knowing what else to add, Gillian moved to one of the sides of the class room, to lay down her backpack and put on it's side the small bundle/notebook she made out of parchment during the summer and a quill.

She knew they never wrote anything in this class, and it was always practical and hard stuff, but she just couldn't help to have something to write down stuff at hand in case anything happened, and she actually managed to spare some time during the class.

The holidays had been very, very interesting, more than Janique could have ever imagined. It was not by her own choice, therefore, that she entered class with a genuine smile on her face. DADA was an interesting subject, but it was not the class that was exciting her. Stepping into the room, she let out a small sigh; the one person she wanted to be there had not yet arrived, and it was a given that she was just very slightly disappointed. Making her way to the side of the classroom, she leaned against the wall. Letting her bag drop to the floor, she turned to nod a greeting at their Professor, voicing a, "Good morning."

The days lesson was written on the board behind the only desk in the room, and Jani spent a few moments trying to recall what it was about before it came to her. This should be interesting, she thought, switching her attention to the doorway as she waited for Callum to arrive.

Aphrodite made her way to DADA and knew she was a little later then she should have been. The Belladonna walked into the classroom right when she heard him ask a question. She smiled politely because she felt guilty for being late. "I apologize for being late and Aqua Eructo is a Charm that conjures up water" Aphrodite answered. She didn't know if Jake would be mad at her or not but she just kept up with listening so she knew what was going to be learned from then on.

The lesson started, and before Janique could answer, some late Bellodonna girl sauntered in and gave the right answer. Rolling her eyes, she waited for further instructions. Vouchers for some sweets was of not much value to her. In fact, she couldn't care less about candy, but the lesson was interesting enough.

Turning her attention to the target, she took out her wand and took her stand. Pointing it directly at the middle of it, she muttered, "Aqua erecto." A dribble of water trickled out of the end and she huffed impatiently. Trying it one more time, she was slightly more pleased to see a thin stream shoot out and make contact with the target. She watched as the bottle slowly filled.

It wasn't good enough for her, but muttering the spell again did nothing to increase the pressure of the water, and with a shrug, she just waited for the amount she had to fill the bottle.

Ares tried his best to slip into class without being noticed, he heard his sister answer and get points for it and then they had to work on the spell. He then knew that his lateness would be found and just decided to come out of the dark. He gave an apologetic smile to Jake before he grabbed his wand and began to work on what he was told to do. "Aqua Errecto" nothing happened. He looked at his wand confused before he decided to try again. "Aqua Errecto" water shot out of his wand and hit the target, he watched as his bottle began to fill up with water. He felt successful for this.

Ares looked at Jake when he told Ares that he did a good job. Jake held out a voucher to him and he gladly took it and smirked, he put his wand away and nodded to Jake. "Okay, I'll see you next time Jake, have a good one" Ares said as he grabbed all of his stuff and left out the door. He couldn't believe that he had actually succeeded in doing the spell before his own sister. That was one for the books.
