DADA - Lesson 1 (Years 1 & 2)

Jaden was running to make sure that she was going to get to class on time. It was strange that her sister wasn't going to be in classes. But she knew that Sadie was the school healer. When she looked around she at least seen that she wasn't late. Which was always a good thing. She couldn't help but wondered when Brayden was going to be there. The boy was on her mind a lot. But that was because he would always make her smile. She then waited for the professor.

Brayden loved DADA, it was a great subject to learn because when you were in battle and needed something to help you, you would need to learn the defense against it and this was the best class to do it. Walking in Brayden saw that the flying Professor was now this Professor. "Hey Jake, how was your summer?" He asked trying to be polite.

Ares was a little exhausted from the transportation to the school, he had stayed up during the entire ride, ate his dinner, then stayed up a bit more just goofing off with his fellow roommates in Wormwood, they had a blast but then again he always had fun with his fellow boys. Ares knew his brother would eventually hear about it since he was appointed Prefect which of course made their parents happy. Ares took a seat when he entered the room.

Brayden paid attention when Jake began the class and he got a little excited when he heard what spell they would be practicing. Brayden had read about the spell from when his parents made him read all about spells he would most likely learn in school. When Jake asked for a fact about the spell, Brayden raised his hand a bit. "Well the name speaks for itself, but nevertheless, its a spell that helps you disarm your enemy" he answered.

Ares was glad that his fellow classmate got the answer correct, it just meant that their year wasn't completely useless and you had someone from each house in the class. When Jake asked for someone who wasn't Brayden to answer what the incantation was, Ares raised his hand. He mine as well try and win some points for his house. "Expelliarmus" Ares answered. He remembered his brother telling him that once.

Brayden knew that he couldn't answer the question since he already had but that didn't stop him from trying to, but he got beaten to it by the Wormwood boy. It didn't matter who answered the question as long as they go it right. When Jake told them to practice the spell out on the dummies, Brayden grabbed his wand and went to a dummy. He raised his wand and spoke. "Expelliarmus" when nothing happened he tried again. "Expelliarmus" this time the wand went flying out of the dummies hand.

Ares watched as Brayden did what he had to do and Ares looked at the dummy in front of him, it really didn't look or seem like much to work with but if it got him to pass the class then he was all for it. Ares walked over to a dummy he was now marking as his and raised his wand to the ugly thing. Ares just needed to knock the wand out of its hand but it could also knock the thing over. "Expelliarmus" Ares said, the light flew out of his wand and knocked the wand out of the dummy's hand. Ares had to duck because the wand flew right passed him.

"Sorry" he apologized for that.

Jaden then went over to a dummy to practice. She knew the spell because of Sadie's textbook, but she didn't want to say anything. Jaden then raised her wand and then made sure that she spoke clear. " Expelliarmus" At first nothing was happening because she started to cough. And she knew that was something that couldn't be avoided. Jaden wasn't going to give up and was going to try again. " Expelliarmus!" She then watched as the wand flew out of the dummy hand. She was actually proud of herself.

Ares watched as the last student went and Jake began to speak. When Jake told him that it was a good spell for that to happen and waved off the apology, he nodded. Ares didn't want to have to get in trouble for hitting someone accidentally in the head because the wand the dummy was holding went flying. When Jake dismissed them, Ares grabbed his stuff. "See you next time Jake" Ares then left the room and continued on with his day.

Brayden listened to Jake as he dismissed the class. Brayden didn't know where he was heading to due to the fact that this was his last class, but he'd find something to do to keep him busy. The Belladonna picked up his stuff and packed it all up and just as he was finished he saw Ares saying goodbye to Jake and leaving. Brayden sent a wave to Jake as a form of saying 'goodbye' and walked out the door.
