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

"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

He would say he was a wizard, but everyone seemed to know that already. "I can safely say I have never engineered someone being born like the books think."

"I wasn't going to ask," Jenny assured him. "That would be rude."

"So you have something as well," Merlin replied. "Though, I don't know if that actually counts as a secret."

"It's really the farthest thing possible from a secret," Jenny admitted. "I'm listed in the phone book. Why, aren't you? Not the phone book, I mean, of course they didn't have phone books in. Er. Whenever you're from."

"I'll miss that," Merlin said with a sigh. "I rather like my phone."

Correction: he liked texting poorly on it.
