DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, October 21, 5th period]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully your week off wasn't spent forgetting everything you learned in class," Sirius said with a slightly evil grin, "because today is your midterm."

"That's correct. Don't worry too much -- it's a practical exam," Remus said simply. "Today, we will be assigning pairs. Over the course of the week, the two of you will play Spy vs Spy attempt to disarm one another. Now -- " he added, looking around at the students, "there will be no injuries. Anyone caught hurting another student will be given immediate detention, and that will be the first of your worries. We are looking for disarming alone. Your opponent will declare a surrender to denote your successful disarming. Roughhousing is fine; anyone who uses their powers to give another student any kind of serious injury will be in trouble. And -- " he added quickly, "I do hope you all understand that attacking at the dance is absolutely not sportsmanlike. While a real attack in real life might take place in such an unexpected setting, this isn't a real attack, and I would be very sad if someone's dress was ripped or trousers torn."

"Or the punch bowl disturbed," Sirius added. "And we aren't going to be held accountable for what happens if you accidentally attack an alumni who looks like your target from the back. Today's lesson is for information gathering. Talk to the other students and learn your opponent's strengths and weaknesses. If you have powers, you are absolutely allowed to use them since fights in the real world are seldom even, but as Professor Lupin mentioned, use discretion. Listen carefully to the list as I read them," he said, reaching for a piece of parchment:

Alex Karev v. Francine Peters
Andy Gallagher v. Didi
Annja Creed v. Diana Hansen
Blysse Norwood v. Edmund Pevensie
Dinah Lance v. Alice Liddell
Elizabeth Stonem v. George Cooper
George Sands v. Jack Burton
Jenny Sparks v. Merlin
Jo Harvelle v. Priestly
Momoko Akatsutsumi v. Eleanor Robinson
Sam Winchester v. Griffin O'Conner

Listen to the lecture [DADA 10/21]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

Make sure you know who the person is you're going to try to take out this week!

Dinah was wondering what counted as 'disarm' here. And frowning, already knowing a good bit about Alice's strengths from the swords lessons with her several months back, and things she'd said about herself.

Hmmm.

...Merlin. Jenny was supposed to fight--excuse her, disarm--Merlin.

She'd do her best not to damage him, but if fate struck her dead on the spot the next time she set foot in England, she would not be at all surprised.

...do what now? Jack was trying to remember what George looked like and started scanning the room.

Alex only knew vaguely who Francine was but hey, it couldn't be that hard to disarm a girl. Maybe he could do it by charm alone. Or something.

Didi hadn't ever spoken with Andy was, but she had a serene smile on her face as she scanned the room for him.

Unless he went for the ankh, she was pretty certain that she would win. The Universe liked the Endless in that way.

Sorry, Andy.

Momoko was confused. They were supposed to fight as a midterm? She looked to see if she could see Eleanor from where she was sitting and wondered how on earth this was supposed to go. Well, at least she could use her powers... Wait, should she tell Eleanor about the transforming part?

Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

Classmates, you are under no obligation to tell people anything useful, or even true, about one another.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was a horrible idea for all of England. But Merlin was there. Waiting for the whole... questioning bit.

Dinah was doodling on her paper, frowning and thinking, and considering courses of action. Memories of Azula going ballistic at her when dunked in water made her think she really, really needed to talk to Alice. Yeah.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine would just be sitting here trying to wrap her mind around the concept of anybody besides Robin the muppet frog not being able to disarm her, let alone a reasonably large boy type person.

Oh yeah, and answering questions, she supposed, if anybody had any.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

If you were a George-shaped person, you'd likely be glared at. Anyone else would get his WTF face.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana glanced around, looking for Annja.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex didn't really feel the need to interrogate anyone about this but whatever, he'd stick around in case he got the urge.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[living_endless]

Didi was perfectly willing to interrogate Andy, or to be interrogated by someone else. Whatever came first.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[likethegun]

Sam was still trying to decide whether or not to be nice to Griff, so a little interrogation could help.

Re: Interrogate your classmates! [DADA 10/21]

[heromaniac]

Momoko looked about and waited for Eleanor, still trying to decide if she should tell about the whole transforming into Blossom part. Would that be considered cheating, though?

Talk to the TAs [DADA 10/21]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

Hullo, boys!

Re: Talk to the TAs [DADA 10/21]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Hullo right on back there.

Even though Merlin was wondering if he was going to end up in detention.

Re: Talk to the TAs [DADA 10/21]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Griff was mostly wondering how this was going to work, but he was there, ready to do whatever it was TAs did.

Talk to the Teachers [DADA 10/21]

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

Hullo, slightly older boys!

Re: Talk to the Teachers [DADA 10/21]

Sirius was there if you have any questions about the assignment.

OOC

[siriuslyscarred.livejournal.com]

As always, use common sense when completing this assignment--don't leap on each other in another classroom, etc., etc. Handwavey is also fine--just get together with the other mun so you have an epic story to tell next week when the guys ask.
