Defense Class 1

[Demilia Grant]

Demilia stood at the front of the class, arms crossed. Some students had already taken their seats, but she was waiting for a couple more minutes until the class to actually be started and for the door to be closed. To tell the truth, she was a bit nervous to be teaching her first class, but she wouldn't let it weigh her down. The plans she had were right on the desk in front crefully thought out. Watching carefully, she placed each student with their names on the roster and took in mind where they were sitting. Looking over her shoulder, she glanced at the clock. On minute until class started.

[Jinx Williams]

Jinx watched her teacher, bored. "Sixty seconds till class begins, sixty seconds of time. And since I just wasted ten seconds of that, just fifty seconds till class begins," she sang softly, her impatience getting the better of her. She looked around the class for potential enemies and friends, scouting out the people she should go out of her way to avoid. Actually, for once there didn't seem to be any, which was strange enough for the Ravenclaw.

[Jade Calahan]

Jade sat in the middle of the classroom, blowing red out of her face. Yeah she paid attention, but technically class hadn't started yet. She wasn't an eager person, ready to learn everything her little ears could take in. Her book was on the table in front of her, her wand laying right beside it. Her actions stopped when the strand of hair had been blown away and she ran her hand through it, silently counting down to when the door would be closed and class would start.

[Brandi Monsoon]

Being late as always, Brandi sauntered into the classroom, tossed her bag down in a desk by Jinx's. Winking at her friend she stared straight at the teacher. Brandi loved challenging the new teachers. Still watching the teacher, she flicked a note at her friend.

'Jinxx, let's start a riot. she know we're homies?'

By those written words Brandi wanted to act out they were enemies, just for the first day. She couldn't help but start a little fun on the first day. It was a great way to welcome people. Her eyes drew away to glance at the girl in the middle of class. She seemed familair to Brandi, and the Slytherin wondered where she had seen her before.

[Harley Johanson-Ruckia]

Harley appeared as if she entered the room right after the Slytherin she had threatened not too long ago, when in fact she actually appeared at the door after running at high speed. She had to control that. Her heels clicked against the stone floor and she chose a seat between two windows where it was nice and shady. Her bag slammed against the table and she was thankful that it didn't break. As she sat down, her eyes scanned the room.

[Jack Devonshire]

Jack paused, he could have sworn the blonde haired Slytherin hadn't been there a minute ago. Tilting his head, he looked her over. Not bad looking, nice legs, great hair. He moved into the room, following the girl, who he knew only by name, Harley. Fantastic name, he thought a smirk on his face. Taking a seat directly beside her, he watched her out of one eye. There was something different about her, and he wasn't thinking it was her looks.

[Demilia Grant]

Demilia had flicked her wand to close the door right when 3 more students had sauntered in. "Miss Monsoon, Miss Johanson, and Mr. Devonshire. Show up late to my class once again, and I will be seeing you in detention," she said looking at all three in turn. She placed both palms on her desk and looked around. "Turn your books to page 430." She said as she turned the book on her desk to the same page. "The spell I am about to teach you is very tricky yet very useful. Most people don't use this because it takes a lot of concentration. And, most would think too, when is a person ever going to run into a supernatural being? No, this isn't a spell to fight or eliminate them, just to detect them."

[Jack Devonshire]

Jack glanced up at Professor Grant, surprised. Now this was new. Teachers had known him from the moment he walked into this school, he was one of the most brilliant students in his year. Detention wasn't in his vocabulary.

However he didn't say anything, there was no point in protesting. He had seen other kids do it, and get in far worse detention. So Jack tuned into what Grant was saying. Detecting the supernatural. Hmmm, interesting....

Raising his hand, Jack asked, " By supernatural, are we talking about vampires and ghosts or pixies?" His voice was bored, without much emotion.

[Demilia Grant]

"It will detect any supernatural beings that you can imagine. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, Fey. This spell has been known to be used during the full moon to detect werewolves. All you simply do is think on the supernatural being while casting the spell. It's stronger if you have a being in mind, for if you go on a wide spectrum, it will searching for any, and would be much weaker," she explained this very easily in answer to his question.

[Jinx Williams]

"She has no idea, lets do it!" Jinx scribbled back, sending the note back to Brandi while the teacher spoke. Flicking her book to the correct page she frowned. She knew exactly what spell the woman was referring too, although she had never put it into practise. Jinx was in one of her moods, meaning she was eager to wind up the teacher. Surely the woman knew by now that you shouldn't threaten with detention on the first day? Bad move. Raising her own hand, Jinx smiled sweetly and said, "How far does the spell reach? If you wanted to track a werewolf, surely by the time you cast the spell it would have reached you and you'd be screwed anyway." Her voice was little more than echo across the room, but a steely edge clung to the soft words. Time to see what Grant was really made of.

[Harley Johanson-Ruckia]

'Oh sh*t,'Harley thought as somebody sat down beside her she was about to tell him to move when class had started. Her eyes were narrowed and her acute hearing had picked up the scratching of a quill as if a note was being written. She silently opened her book and froze for a split second as she read. Her eye twitched and as her mind panicked, she didn't let it show.

Before the teacher could even speak, Harley opened her mouth as she laced her fingers behind her head. "If you actually read the book, it clearly states that the more you concentrate, the farther and faster the spell travels," she said shooting the two of them looks from across the room.

[Jack Devonshire]

Jack nodded, and then let his eyes slide cooly over to Harley. Maybe this spell would be his answer as to what she was, the level of magic she let off was far too high for someone of her age.

His attention was diverted as Jinx asked a question of her own. A dark chuckle rose from him, and he smirked. Harley seemed relaxed, though he had detected a moment of tenseness as he had sat down. "Do You have a problem with me?" Jack asked cooly, watching her reaction

[Brandi Monsoon]

Brandi snorted, she was already being threatened with Detention. A grin came upon her face as Jinx's note came back to her. Perfect. "Why would it matter to you? One less Ravenclaw in the world to deal with." Brandi drawled nastily.

"And Harley darling, don't you just love this spell. Do you think there are vampires in the school?" Brandi said sweetly to her enemy, while leaning her chair back on its feet. "Professor, if there are vampires in the school, is that legal?" Brandi asked, perfect sincereness on her face.

[Harley Johanson-Ruckia]

Harley turned to the guy beside her. She gave him a quick look up and down. "No, I do not unless you piss me off," she said to him quietly. "The spell's no fun Brandi. Takes the surprise out of everything." she explained, turning to the other Slytherin in the room.

[Jade Calahan]

Jade looked back at the blonde and now understood where the smell was coming from. The Slytherin Harley was one. Jade, however was just keeping her mouth shut. She was panicking a little, with her being a werewolf she couldn't say much. She just turned right back around and stuck her nose in the book on her table.
