Blairs POV
I walked into Defense Against the Dark Arts at exactly 7:00, risky I know. Hallie and Shelby were already there, sitting at one of the three people desks with an empty seat.
"Pushing aren't we miss?" The teacher asked. I smiled at him, he was rather attractive, with short sandy brown hair that was styled attractively, and green eyes.
"Yes sir, sorry sir," I said sliding into my seat with a slight smirk. I instantly propped my feet up on the table, leaning back in my seat. Shelby gave me a warning look but I just smiled at her. I had decided this morning that I planned to see how far I could push my luck. The Teacher sighed eyeing me.
"Company and name?" The teacher asked, coming to stand in front of me, pushing my feet off the table.
"Blair Rodgers, Vulpes company" I scowled crossing my arms, but not putting my feet back on the table.
"Ah, Vulpes, that explains it." The room chuckled rather nervously. "Tell me, Miss Rodgers, if you don't plan on behaving then why did you come to this school?" He asked.
"Because sir, I'm the bane of my parent's existence, so of course they would send me to this school to straighten me out," I said smirking. I couldn't tell what he was thinking he just nodded and walked up to the front of the class beginning to write on the black board. He wore a black button-down shirt, black boots, and simple jeans, with his wand in his back pocket. Since he was turned away from me I went to put my feet back on the desk. "Feet stay OFF the furniture miss Rodgers." He said without turning around. I rolled my eyes as he turned back around.
"Hello class and welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. My name is Dean Ethans and I'm your professor, I'm also the Company Commander for the Aquila's. Do not think for one moment that this makes anyone my favorite. My rules are simple. No talking while I'm talking, do not be rude, respect me and your classmates. Cheating will result in an automatic zero as will plagiarism. Pay attention and you will do well. Understand?"
"Sir Yes sir" he sighed once more.
"Inside the classroom, you can refer to me as Professor Dean. And a simple yes is all I need. Now miss Rodgers can you read the board for me?" Dean asked. I finally looked at the bored and read
"Verdimillious Charm." I read.
"Right'o" Dean said. " We will be beginning with the verdimilious charm, it's a simple but useful charm. Anyone know what it does?" Dean asked. Shelby raised her hand.
"Miss Garner right?" Dean asked pointing at her.
"Yes sir. Doesn't the charm shoot out a green light?" she asked.
"Yes in the sense that it can be used as a temporary light, However, it shoots out sparks, not light. This charm can be used in two different scenarios, one for defense and one as a temporary light. When used as a defense the sparks will explode around your target and surround them, it will cause no serious pain or damage only a small sting so it's not the most effective charm, however, if you're quick enough it will allow you to either escape or to fire off another spell. This is achieved by saying the incantation 'verdimilious' pronounced Vur-duh-MILL-ee-us, while moving your wand in a forward slashing movement, ending the movement with your wand pointing at your target, like such." He said, showing us the wand movement.
"Ah, miss Hudson why don't you come up and try?" Hallie nodded getting out of her seat and facing dean. "Now try the charm on me, don't worry it won't hurt me." Hallie gripped her wand tight taking a deep breath.
"Verdimilious!" she said, The tip of her wand turned green but nothing else happened.
"Very good first try but you're saying 'Vur-duh-mill-EE-us' the stress goes on the MILL sound, try again." He told her.
"Verdimilious!" She called again, moving her wand, this time green sparks shot out and wrapped around dean.
"Very good," He said once they had cleared. "To use it as a light you use the same Incantation but you spin your wand in a circle above your head". We spent the rest of the class period practicing
