Fandom Invasions Class #14 (Thursday period 3)
The Danger Shop when everyone walked in was made up to look like a normal classrom. John was standing at the front leaning against a desk with a cup of coffee.
"Good morning," John said. "Today we're just going to talk about one particular kind of invasion, the kind that can be the most insiduous and dangerous. And that's the kind that comes from within." He hit a button and the scenery behind him changed to a view of a very pink and kitten-plated office and a middle aged woman sitting behind the desk. "Sometimes, it's not really all that difficult to spot such dangers. This past summer, when Principal Washburn was on maternity leave, one such example was put in place as temporary principal. Delores Umbridge was, to put it mildly, incredibly unstable, a meglomaniac and a sadist to boot. Pretty much anyone who had any encounter with her came away with the knowledge that she was bad news. Subtle, she wasn't. If you run into something like that, the best thing you can do is keep your distance and go to a teacher or adult you can trust. There are some things you students shouldn't have to deal with."
He pushed another button and the scene changed to a young man with curly hair and pure black eyes trapped in a symbol on the floor. "Another example is one that is much harder to detect. The kind of danger that comes in the guise of a friend. There was an incident with some demonic possession last year -- and until someone who had precognitive visions had one about this particular student, no one had clued in that he was possessed.
"It's nowhere near as easy to figure out something is wrong with something that is that subtle. There are signs -- someone acting a little out of character -- either knowing or not knowing things out of the ordinary for them, or someone being cruel in a way that is not normal for them. Or, likewise, someone being a lot nicer than normal. That kind of thing can be a clue that maybe not all is well there.
"Of course," John added with a smile, "those kind of things could also just be normal teenage moods and it's sometimes hard to tell which is which. But if you do suspect that something is off, again, talking to a teacher or other adult you trust to get a second opinion is always a good option."
He touched the remote again and that scene faded as well. "And that's all I have to say about that. Since this is our last class before finals, I'm going to let you go early. Our final, by the way, will be held Monday evening, due to the time constraints of a guest who is going to be helping with it. So if there's no questions, I'll see you all then."
