DADA for Muggles [period 3, Wednesday]
Remus was in high spirits today. Part of it was the new term. Part of it was that the full moon had been last week, and he was in the first week of a new cycle. It didn't matter -- either way, he was smiling congenially at the class as they filed in.
"Good morning, and welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts for Muggles. First, we need to define some important vocabulary. A muggle is what we call a non-magical person at home, though of course magic users are welcome in this class as well. You'll have to forgive any curiosity on my part. I'm still adjusting to the way other magic and wizards work in comparison to my own experiences."
Sirius was already leaning against the desk he'd found so comfortable last semester, glancing around the room for familiar faces. Since no one seemed to be screaming and running from the room when they saw him, he was optimistic for a quiet term.
"Dark Arts also seems to be defined differently, based on your own personal experiences," Sirius added. "We hope to find some common ground and help to provide you with some practical defenses for fighting evils of all kinds."
Especially the DVD player. The evil, evil DVD player.
"So, first, the introductions, which we're given to understand are customary on the first day." Remus gave Sirius a pleased, sidelong look. He was going to enjoy this. Though, out of kindness, he didn't ask their favorite subject in school. Sirius might have put an angered kneazle in his room as revenge. "So, your name, your favorite type of sweet, and what you consider a dark art. I'll go first. I'm Remus Lupin, I'm partial to Chocolate Frogs, and I think the dark arts comprise any number of practices that endanger lives or reduce the enjoyment thereof." He gave Sirius an expectant look.
Sirius gave him a slightly sour one in reply. "I'm Sirius Black," he said, "I love Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and the dark arts also include curses, charms and hexes that hurt others or yourself." He pointed a finger at a student at random. "Your turn. And for the rest of you, no repeating what another student says. That means you'll have to listen to each other."
He looked quite pleased with himself for thinking of that. See? He was getting the hang of this teaching bit.
