DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, September 30, 5th period]

The students had been handwavily invited to the Danger Shop today, where an hour prior Remus and Sirius had struggled with the programming and a fair number of expletives had been irritably shouted.

At the moment, though, it appeared as a dank, dark room that had clearly once been the toast of someone's rather ostentatious home. The furniture and trappings had clearly been unattended for several decades, however.

"Hello, everyone!" Remus said cheerfully, because this was the sort of day where excess cheer would come in handy. "Defending oneself against dark creatures and evil people isn't always going to be enough. Occasionally, you'll run across cursed objects themselves, which will look perfectly harmless. In Muggle films, these are often depicted as a relic, or a book, the opening or touching of which will invoke some sort of thousand year-old curse. These aren't just stories, at least in our world. At home, we have an entire section of our government devoted to bewitched and misused objects."

"And sometimes they're beloved family heirlooms," Sirius added sourly, glancing around the room. "In this room, there are several cursed objects. What you are looking for are found on the sheets of parchment that Merlin and Griff assuming they are here are passing out to you now. Please search for and identify as many as you can before the class is over without enchanting or poisoning yourself or your classmates."

He pointed to a basket of dragonhide gloves. "The gloves aren't optional today."

"As always, we're both available to help and answer questions," Remus added helpfully. "Don't touch anything with your bare hands, please, and if you run into trouble, do let us know."

And more frowning, because she couldn't actually read this list. She looked around, hoping someone would be willing to help out with that.

"Is there a problem?" Jenny asked, noticing Blysse's frowningness.

What? She could be helpful. Once in a blue moon, maybe, but she could.

She shrugged. "I cannot read this," she said simply, tilting her head in the direction of the list.

Jenny eyed her a bit oddly. "Please tell me you're from one of those worlds where reading isn't a priority, as opposed to yet another failure of the modern school systems." She blamed her successor, as she did for so many things, for that.

"I grow up with wolves," Firekeeper said. "They not have much use for reading."

Jenny blinked at her. "I thought that was just a metaphor."

That got a confused headtilt. "Which?"

"The--never mind," Jenny said. "Right." She read off the list to Blysse and asked, "Got all that?"
