DADA for Muggles [Wednesday, March 31]

"Professor Lupin is feeling a bit under the weather and will not be joining us today," Sirius said as he entered the classroom.

Which was probably just as well, as this week's lesson was far from Remus's favorite.

"We are going to start today with a children's game--Simon Says." Sirius gave brief instructions on how the game was played, then assigned a Simon based on the first person to sign into the class thread. "Don't forget to say 'Simon says'."

After a bit of time had passed, Sirius stopped the game.

"It's fun to be Simon, to be the one who has absolute control over others' movements. It has crossed everyone's mind at some point or another how much more convenient it would be if everyone would just follow what you wanted all the time." His smile held no humor at all. "And with most magical societies, someone has always figured out the trick to that. In the wizarding world I'm familiar with, using such a spell--called the Imperius Curse--carries a lifetime sentence in the wizarding prison of Azkaban. It's one of the three Unforgivable Curses. The other two are along similar lines of darkness--Crucius causes incredible pain, and the final one is known as the Killing Curse. There is only one person in the entire world who has lived through that curse being used against him." He leaned back against his desk. "Do you think these three curses should be considered unforgivable? Should spells that do other things also be added?"

Play Simon Says! [3/31]

Make sure you says "Simon Says!" And no cheating.

Jonas was probably the worst Simon that could have been assigned. For one, he didn't know this game. For two, he felt very uncomfortable ordering people around.

"Simon Says...sit really comfortably at your desks?" It shouldn't have been a question but he was really bad at this.

"Simon Says class is over, and everyone can go home."

People should not let Makita give orders outside a battle field. As in, ever.

Sirius cocked up an eyebrow. "Sirius says 'nice try.' Sirius also says sit back down."

Are the Unforgivable curses really that bad? Are there other curses that should be considered evil as well?

"They sound pretty bad to me," Jonas said after playing the game. "I don't think I'd want to be subjected to pain or death and --"

Well, he already felt like he'd been subject to something like an Imperius curse before. It'd just come in a different form.

"It's stripping who you are basically. They take your control, your health and your life. That sounds pretty unforgivable."

"I'm not sure," Jack said thoughtfully. "The killing curse, absolutely -- that's murder. The other two, I can think of uses that are awful, but better than the alternative. Crucius might be used to distract a murderer and save a life, maybe? Or Imperium could be used to keep a suicide from jumping off a bridge?"

He shrugged. "I don't think they're things people should do if there are other options, and it's possible your world has other solutions for those situations. I'm just thinking out loud."

He won't tell you what's wrong with Remus, no.
