DADA for Muggles, final class [Wednesday]

It had taken Remus and Sirius slightly less time this go around to program the Danger Room to do what they wanted (Sirius contended it was because it had threatened the computer with a good hexing, but that was debatable), but for a final examination, the professors felt that a bit of effort should be expended.

"Welcome to your exam," Sirius said with a slightly fiendish smile, extending his hand to encompass the scene before them: a large grassy area (complete with a different castle in the background. They missed Hogwarts a bit, so hush) covered in a variety of obstacles. "Hopefully you remember what you have learned. You will encounter a series of practical exercises in order for us to determine how prepared you are to face the Dark Arts in every day life. Good luck. If you get too hexed to continue, Professor Lupin and I will step in, but I don't think that will be entirely necessary."

Find a real cabbage! Keep your hands!

Priestly knew from cabbages. For instance, that they didn't tend to have teeth. He was sure to do just fine on this one.

Didi found a pencil and poked at the cabbages until she got one that didn't bite. Problem solved.

Dinah had the dragonhide gloves on immediately, but was using her TK to poke at the vegetables, waiting for one of them to look back at her. Yeeeee.

Alex's day kept getting better because he didn't move his hand away from a chomping cabbage quick enough and ended up getting bitten.

Cursing like a sailor, he guessed right on the next try and grabbed a stupid cabbage.

Yeah, Effy wasn't about to put her hand in there until she was damn sure what she was poking at.

Until then, a boot-covered foot was getting used to nudge at the cabbages until one of them moved, or didn't bare its teeth.

Diana missed the gloves they had when they did this in class and ended up gingerly poking at them with a finger.

Jenny got out a pencil to poke the cabbages. Once she found one that didn't bite the pencil, she zapped the rest to preserve her fingers, then darted in to grab the normal one before the toothy ones recovered.

Francine also knew from cabbages, but that didn't mean she was skipping the dragonhide gloves when she reached for the one she was pretty sure didn't have teeth.

Sam was the dork with the gloves and a pencil, poking the cabbages to find one that didn't bite.

Right. Momoko had on gloves, sure, but she was still pondering the pile. She was fairly sure she could tell a real cabbage from a living one - except that real cabbage was alive, too. Or was it dead? Not the chomping ones, the ones that you chomped. Not that any of that helped. "Hmm. Maybe it's that one?"

*CHOMP*

"Ah! Ok. No." She shook the little bugger off and frowned. "Right! If you don't speak up, all of you are going in the pot!" When that didn't get a reaction, she went back to picking up ones that looked likely. Hopefully there wasn't a time limit?

Jack put on the gloves and stared at the cabbage-y-things.

He tried one. It bit. He flailed. The Chinese chomper went airborne and landed back in the box. He glared at it, and tried another.

The fifth time, he got a cabbage. He still flailed.

You have your choice of duct, Scotch, and electrical tape.

Okay, this one Priestly had a little more trouble with, and involved a lot of standing as far back as possible with his head turned away and a grimace on his face while sort of hoping that if he flung strips of duct tape at the zombie, it'd get the point and do it itself.

This wasn't hard, but it involved wishing she didn't have to breathe. Also that the zombie would quit grinning at her.

Duct tape for the win! And some over her nose to keep the smell off, too. TK didn't help so much when bits and pieces kept falling off when she wasn't looking.

"Is that your ear, or someone else's?"

"Nnnnngh."

"Oh. Good."

One time had been enough for Alex, really. He just stared at the zombie in some disdain before going for the Duct tape and doing a pretty crappy job of getting the thing back together.

Yeah, so not happy.

Oh yeah, this was just how she wanted to spend her day, and it was with a wrinkled nose that Effy started duct-taping at arms length.

... And if a finger or two fell off when she thought she was almost done, they were getting left that way.

Diana studied the zombie before picking up the tape, ripping off some pieces, and then twitching the possibilities to make sure the breeze was blowing the smell away from her. It helped. Somewhat.

Well, this was...disgusting. Jenny set to work with the duct tape, doing a quick and rather slapdash job of it. She was going to need a shower and a drink after this. UGH.

Much as Francine hated this, she forced herself to do it my, of all things, imagining the zombie was her. She'd have loved someone who'd help with this instead of, oh, nailing her ear to a sign.

Obstacle Course!
