Hunting 101 Class 3 -- Wednesday Period 7

When the students entered, they saw John sitting at his desk and two tables set out at the front of the room. One holds the sign in sheet and a pile of handouts. The other holds a number of curious items.

John waited until all his students had filed in and taken their seats.

"So last week you faced your first senario with a ghost. Nobody managed to get themselves killed and everyone eventually managed to take out the ghost." He leaned back on his desk. "Unfortunately, a number of you also managed to take out the house. Two things it's good to remember: don't burn down a house while you're still in it. And ghosts can turn incorporeal at will. You can't set them on fire."

John pushed away from his desk and went over to a side table where a number of items were laid out. "There are however a few things that you can use when fighting a ghost that actually do more harm to them than to you. Iron temporarily disrupts a ghost's energy. Anything you can find that's iron -- some crowbars, fireplace pokers, cast iron frying pans -- " John had examples of each of these and held them up in turn, "can be used as a weapon against a spirit." He smiled wryly. "And it won't burn down the house."

He the frying pan down and moved down the table where he picked up a salt shaker. "Salt is probably one of the most versatile weapons a hunter can have. Salt circles can be used for protection against not only ghosts but demons and some other evil entities." He put the shaker down and picked up a small crystal. "Salt can also be used offensively and rock salt such as this is the easiest to handle. It disrupts a ghost's energy much the same way iron does. Rock salt pieces like this or some larger, can be thrown, either by hand or using a weapon such as a sling shot." He moved down the table a little bit more to where there was a pile of much smaller crystals. "Smaller crystals such as these can be useful as well, when packed into shotgun shells." He picked up such a cartridge also sitting on the table. "You've heard of buckshot?" John grinned. "Well this is ghostshot.

"And it's not something you can just buy from any sporting goods store. You have to make it yourself." John handwavily demonstrated how to load shotgun cartridges with rock salt, explaining how as he went. When he was done he headed back over to his desk. "All the information we've discussed is covered in the handout you took at the beginning of class, including a list of steps in how to reload shotgun shells. Feel free to come up and examine everything, and try your hand at making rocksalt cartridges. Also I'd like to know how much experience and how comfortable each of you is with firearms, so I can set up balanced groups for next week's practical."

"Awwww, thanks," Dawn smiled at him, "and you're really missing out if you don't have sharp and pointy. They're fun."

"You know, a normal person would probably be concerned by your appreciation for nice weapons," Sam pointed out.

"Lucky for me, you're not normal," she beamed.

Sam grinned broadly at her. "It's funny how being abnormal doesn't seem like quite as much of a bad thing when you put it like that."

"You're abnormal in a good way?" Dawn suggested and almost kissed him until she remembered that his dad was teaching the class and hello, awkward. She settled for taking his hand and squeezing it. "A really good way."

Sam squeezed her hand in return, not letting go right away. "Thanks. You're really wonderfully abnormal too."

"I'm glad you think so," he replied, beaming. "I also think you're pretty sweet, so..."

"So, sweet girls deserve sweet compliments," Sam replied.

"Calling you sweet would get you teased by Dean until you died, right?" Dawn asked, grinning. "Um, how about that's very gentlemanly and damn manly of you?"

"I don't mind being called sweet unless you're doing it right in front of Dean. Then, yes, I'll be mocked until the end of my days," Sam said, laughing. "But I'll take gentlemanly too."

"Me too," Dawn smiled up at him, taking a step closer.
