DADA for Muggles [5th period]

Today, the class was set up as a perfectly normal classroom, with one exception: there was a television at the front, and Remus, for one, was sporting a part of mildly-singed eyebrows due to his prior struggle with it.

"Good afternoon," he said evenly. "Today we'll be having a rather light day, I'm afraid. I'm certain you're all terribly upset about that. We'd like you to tell us about your attempts to disarm one another. What worked? What didn't? How were your experiences with the assignment?"

"And after that," Sirius said happily, "we'll watch a movie!" On the third DVD player of the day. Shh. They didn't think to ask the TAs for help. "It's completely inaccurate when it comes to witchcraft, of course, but the women are very attractive."

How did it gooooo? Talk about your handwaving or actual experiences!

Effy shrugged casually. "Fine."

No, really, that was about her assessment of how it went. She'd never intended to fight the guy or anything, and she hadn't, so...

"It was a tie," Alex said, shrugging. Considering he hadn't really tired and all. "Draw. No one said uncle."

Right. Francine had been thinking about making him cookies. Somehow she got a little distracted.

Much like now, when she closed her eyes at uncle and murmured, "Right. No one said that."

"We talked," Didi said, glancing to Andy. "The tactic he wanted to use didn't work, so we called it a draw."

Dinah looked over at Alice, then said, "Alice won. By explaining her strategies. I thought it would be like getting into a land war in Asia, so I conceded."

Alice shrugged. "Dinah felt it was unfair to ask her not to use her telekinesis," she noted, "but also felt that using my tactics and strategies would be equally unfair, even the ones which only involved well-placed threats. I reminded her that actual fights hardly rest on niceties, she began speaking of Sicilians, and I convinced her to concede, on the basis that we had thoroughly different expectations of the assignment."

"Well, I thought using live weapons or involving stuff that might effect our roommates would be pushing it, for a class assignment," Dinah agreed. Not to mention Alice being good with massive injuries to either of them. "We do have totally different expectations. So I'm good with her winning this one."

"A knife isn't a live weapon, simply because it has an edge," Alice corrected. "It's not as though it has a grenade strapped to the blade. Anyway, you started by asking if you might lift me with your mind and fling me about the room. I hardly expected squeamishness, after that."

"No, I asked if you were okay with being picked up. You said no, so that was off the table," Dinah responded. "Anyway. Squeamishness.... You won the argument (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/2269788.html?thread=148666204), and I conceded the assignment."

"I didn't say no." Alice shrugged. "I said, very well, let's fight, but you kept changing the terms, and implied I wouldn't stop if you conceded. Which is ridiculous. You conceded, I stopped. This is a pointless discussion, so I refuse to continue it."

Sirius, who had been listening closely to the discussion, nodded. "That's an end to it then."

It wasn't really a suggestion to either of them.

"We had tea?" Like proper overpowered Brits.

"It was for the best, really," Jenny said with a firm nod.

Firekeeper glanced over at Edmund, who was still a pony.

"He is horse. I am wolf," she shrugged. It was fairly obvious to her who won.

Edmund nodded in agreement. It was hard to argue with that.
