Fourth Year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is held at 11:00am on Mondays and Wednesdays

Located on Hogwarts' third floor is the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. The room is bright with the curtains of the large windows always open. The windows themselves will sometimes be open depending on the weather. The classroom is light on decor, Professor Monroe preferring to have as much open space as possible. However there are a few mementos including his diploma, a few vintage newspapers, and even an American flag hanging tucked in one of the corners.

At the head of the classroom there is a desk, though Professor Monroe rarely sits and when he does it's usually on top of the desk. Next to the desk is a chalkboard he uses while teaching. Off to the side there is another smaller chalkboard with the word Rules underlined. There is only one thing beneath it; "I trust you, just don't be an idiot."

Professor Monroe's office is situated above the classroom and is almost always open in case students need anything.

                                                Jack gave another wave of his wand and the final desk disappeared from sight. Looking into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the only thing someone would see was Jack’s desk and the small chalkboard. He’d used the bedazzling hex on everything else. If you were sharp-eyed enough you could spot the bit of haze around each item. He’d spent a while deciding what to do for this lesson, but since hexing a student would probably be frowned upon, he’d figured this was the next best idea. He was getting the new group of fourth-years this class so he wanted to make a good impression. Hopefully, they’d have fun.

                                                He waited for a few minutes as the students entered. They naturally developed a clump at what appeared to be a lack of desks. “Welcome,” he called once everyone had entered. Most of the faces looked familiar, though this would be her first time teaching this group. “I’m Professor Monroe, your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Obviously. Today I wanted to get to know you a little, but first, it’d probably be helpful if you had desks which leads me quite nicely into today’s lesson; Hex deflection. Specifically focusing on Salvio Hexia. Now, there’s a variety of ways this spell can be used to get rid of hexes. It can set it up as a defensive shield around an area to protect from hexes being used, you can use it in a duel to deflect an incoming hex, or, like you’ll be doing to do, point it at a standing hex to reverse the effects.”

                                                Jack pointed his wand toward one of the walls and brought it down in a diagonal in front of him. “Salvio Hexia,” he commanded, and an American flag shimmered into existence on the wall. “All your desks are spread throughout the classroom and each one has a questionnaire for you to fill out. Find a desk, use Salvio Hexia to reveal it, then get those papers filled out for me. If you need any help, I’ll be right here to ask.”


                                          1. Your name
                                          2. Your house

                                                            Emily was having a pretty good year back at Hogwarts already. She was named Vice Captain for the Puff's Quidditch team meaning they obviously didn't hate her for not being the best keeper out there. And she had ideas in her little analytical mind how to line plays up like flower beds. She was away from her mother though the woman was getting less involved as her Dad became more involved, not just with Emily, but with his old family too. Too bad he wouldn't just pay his second wife and former mistress and mother of Emily to just go away. Maybe there wasn't enough money for the woman, hard to imagine but what did Emily know.

                                                            Regardless, Emily was in a good mood when she arrived at Defense Against Dark Arts, a class she was fair at least at. She got there when the door way was already blocked and though Emily wasn't short she did have to try to hop a little to see over her taller classmates that did get there first. Soon enough Professor Monroe ushered them into a class that had no desks or seats... or did it? Hex deflection sounded fun. It was a scavenger hunt.

                                                            Emily spread out with the rest in search of a desk. Everytime she thought she saw something in the corner of her eye it was gone. As she turned her hip slammed into something hard. She bit back a small yelp and looked back. There was a bit of shimmer where her hip connected. "That is one way to find a desk," She muttered before waving her wand "Salvio Hexia" and a desk with a worksheet appeared in front of her.

                                                            Taking a seat she wrote her answers:

                                                            1. Your name: Emilia Dyfodwg
                                                            2. Your house: Hufflepuff
                                                            3. What you like to be called: Emily
                                                            4. What's the weirdest/scariest dream you've had? That I lost my magic and couldn't go back to Hogwarts
                                                            5. What is one thing that instantly makes your day better? My plants (I have a few in the dorm room, even)
                                                            6. What's your favorite random fact? Vanilla beans come from the vanilla orchid, the only orchid that produces an edible fruit.
                                                            7. What's one thing you wish all your teachers knew? How to pronounce my last name properly

                                                            Though, we're here for you!
                                                            I think you'll find a whole new family in...
