[DADA] T1: Lesson 3 - Protego

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa blinked a couple of times, turning to her professor. "Erm..." Looking at her desk, she sighed, not really sure of the answer. "It'll reflect off the shield?" She said blushing, her eyes downcast, avoiding the students gazes as they lingered on her.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"But where does the spell rebound to once off the shield?" Leigh asked diligently.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa looked up at her professor and she faintly remembered something she had read on her first days at Hogwarts, most of which were spent in the library.

"The spell will usually reflect minor jinxes off the shield, hitting the attacker," she said, timidly, her eyebrows furrowed.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Ah, excellent." Leigh replied. "10 points to Hufflepuff."

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa looked up from her desk, sending a smile toward her professor in thanks before collecting her quill to start on some notes, her spirits lifted.

[Kandler Norton]

Kandler ran down the corridors as fast as he could. He panted heavily once he reached the door to the defense against the dark arts classroom. He pulled open the door and shut it as quietly as he could sliding to his seat as silent a she could with out them really noticing.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Welcome, Kandler Norton. Thank you for being late." Prof Addis said as he looked over in the students direction.

[Kandler Norton]

He stopped and gave a slight smile. "Sorry Professor." He said scratching his ear. "I sorta...had a rough night and just got up not long ago."

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa caught Kandler's eyes, sending him a knowing look that clearly said I feel the same way, before yawning which only emphasized her point.

[Kandler Norton]

Kandler gave a small wink to Lisa before he took his seat and looked up at the Professor.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco scowled at the Hufflepuff after she earned her points and leaned back in his seat, examining his nails while a bored expression lingered on his face.

"Anyone could have got that," He said to himself, briefly glancing up at the professor before he rolled his eyes.

[Kandler Norton]

"Then why didnt' you Malfoy?" He asked staring at the board.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco groaned as the students voice made it's way through his ears. A Gryffindor, he thought to himself, recognizing the Gryffindor robes. Brave, courageous and completely idiotic.

Turning his head to face the unfamiliar boy, Draco was about to respond when his eyes caught sight of the boy's Gryffindor badge. The bright red clashed horribly with his robes and he made a face, staring at his own emerald badge with adoration.

"Because," Draco said, looking up from admiring himself, his gaze landing on his nails as he examined them carelessly. "The professor didn't call on me, though I assure you I would have answered correctly had he chosen me instead of the Puff-for-Brains."

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa sighed, rolling her eyes, used to Malfoy's behavior by now. Grabbing a quill from her bag she began to write her notes, sending the Slytherin an exasperated look.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco caught the look and smirked at the girl, tilting his chair on it's back legs while lazily stretching out his limbs. Looking back at the professor he sighed, annoyed, waiting for the rest of the class to take place.
