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."

"Then thank you." The next hug-attack would not be quite so stealth.

"You're welcome," Merlin replied, making with the hugging. "But you have nothign to thank me for."

"You saved Katchoo! Since when is that nothing?" She pulled back to look at him like he was crazy, and actually looked at him. And winced. "Oh, your poor throat."

"Anyone would have done that if they could," Merlin countered, frowning as he looked at her bruises as well.

"Anyone didn't." And Francine would like to believe anyone would, but no, not considering some of the people they'd just -- to put it charitably -- met. "You did."

"Is she alright? Perhaps Karla or Rachel ought to check to make sure the healing worked correctly?"

"She's sleeping in today, but she said she felt fine." Francine nodded, though. "I'd be glad to have somebody say for sure that she's right. I'm sure she'd be glad if I stopped checking up on her every hour and asking, too."

"Arthur has been about the same," Merlin replied with a dry sort of humor about it. "I can talk to them at Reserve today."

"Karla offered to heal my face," Francine said, touching her cheek and then wincing because sometimes she was kind of a moron that way. "One of them could fix your throat too..." She gave him a pointed look.

Oh, it was such a good thing they knew people who could patch them up. "I'll talk to them."

"...And your head," Francine added. What? The bruises on his neck were more obvious.

It was only a mild concussion! He'd walk it off. And rub dirt in it.

"And my head." Mother hen.

"Hey, somebody has to take care of these things. You're not a blonde; your skull is all soft and stuff."

She gave him a raised eyebrow. Well, two, since she kind of sucked at the just-one-eyebrow thing. "Like what?"

"Totally the hard head thing," Francine agreed. And not, you know. The trained to kill since birth thing, or the can take down a man three times her size and rip his face off thing.

Magical tarts. And crazy tarts.

They were so very lucky Merlin and Francine were there for them. "Thank god for that."
