N.E.W.T. Lesson 2nd

"Both arguments have merit," Amelia retorted when her classmate offered a rebuttal to her statement. Her words were not meant to belittle his statement, but rather to admit that both students could have been right. The lack of proof allowed for multiple options to exist.

He defends his ideas... Amelia thought as she turned away from the Gryffindor boy to look back to her books. Clearly it shows his ideas are well thought out...

Amelia was, once again, impressed by the boy's intelligence, but did not wish to express this to him whilst in class. Truth be told, she was unsure she would find the words even if she did wish to tell him after the lesson was over. Although she admired many of her peers for their various talents and strengths, she was not always sure how to express this. Having received critique more often than compliments in her childhood, Amelia had not quite mastered the art of praise.

Ne'os walked into the class "sorry if im late professor" he said sitting down.

Gabrielle looked as they were discussing boggart topic with great enthisiasm. "Well yes both theories are partly correct.5 points for Gryffindor and Rawenclaw." she said taking her wand. "That cabineet over there contains 2 boggarts i managed to catch.2 cabinetts,but anyway/" she added quickly. "Now who can tell me what does Patronus Charm do?" she asked.

''The Patronus charm is a defensive spell, so it is used as a general defense mechanism, but mainly to repel Dementors and Lethifolds. More advanced users can also control their Patronus to send messages or transmit their voice through it'', Poe replied

Amelia was pleased to hear the teacher praise her answer, even though that was not the reason she had provided the answer. She felt obligated as a prefect to perform well in class and earn points for her house, but she did not like to seem show-offish or like a know-it-all. Smiling lightly to herself, Amelia returned her attention to the book which was open in front of her, making notations in the margins to remind her of certain facts later on.

When the teacher posed another question, she mentally answered it to herself. Having already spoken up in class, she felt other students may want the chance to answer to earn points for his or her own house. Her mother had always told her that no one likes the person who hogs the spotlight, so she kept her answer to herself and expected to wait a few moments for another student to speak up.

She was surprised, however, to find that the same Gryffindor boy who had spoken earlier had taken control of the answering process and provided the teacher with a response before another student could answer.

Apparently he has no qualms about dominating the class... Amelia thought to herself, not necessarily peeved by the boy but rather wondering why he made such a spectacle of himself in class. This was not the first class she had noticed him in, and he seemed to have a similar strategy in his other courses. Without looking up, she noted his answer on a piece of parchment and waited for the teacher to once again inform him that he had given the correct answer.

Christabelle had perked up when the professor had mentioned the Patronus charm. This was one of her favorite defensive charms, although she had never had to use it before in the case of protecting herself. She had eventually learned to send messages with it and as such earned her a high score in her classes back at Beauxbatons. She listened as the provided the answers. She would demonstrate if asked but as she earned points in the last class she figured she would give her cousin who was more her twin a chance to redeem himself and earn his house points.

"Good morning Miss Hutson.That's 5 points from Slytherin for being late." was the first thing Gabrielle registered before she heard Arthur's answer. "Now let's hear someone i didn't hear yet.Who would like to go first?" she asked looking at the 1st of the locked cabinetts.

[[It's no fun when you guys all successed from the 1st try.]]

Neve listened to the professor talking and paled. She could produce a full patronus when faced by Dementors, but Boggarts for her were worse. Much much worse. Neve was scared of Dementors but felt more pity than fear towards them. However, Boggarts took the form of your worst fear and Neve hated them.
Still, she needed to practice her patronus, and this was the best chance she was going to get.
Neve put her hand up. 'I'd like to go first, professor.'

''Then I would try my luck with a Boggart, if possible professor.'', Arthur said.
