Defence Against the Dark Arts: OWL & NEWT[8]

[Bronagh Edgeworth]

*Eyes slide into focus as she hears her name and the question following it. She nods*

We practiced defending jinxes and hexes nonverbally. We also began to learn a great deal more on the Unforgivable Curses. *Voice sounding like a sweet melody.*

*Thinks back to the previous term. Replays the vision of the Unforgivable Curses performed in front of the class, smiling, she turns her head to the Hufflepuffs, an evil glint in her eyes.

[Alison O'Sullivan]

*after considering to move away from Kai, she decides against it because another Slytherin has shown up*

Why do we have all classes toghether with them? *she whispers*

[Professor Giles]

Ah, very good, we will indeed be working our way into more advanced curse and jinx studies and the best protective measures against them. Now, could you all take out some parchment and copy down what I am to write on the board.

*begins scrawling a list of jinxes and their counter-jinxes*

[Bronagh Edgeworth]

*Leans over to her bag*

*Withdraws a quill and parchment and begins scribbling away.*

*Grows bored quickly and music, as always, fills her mind instead.*

*Ceases scratching away notes, eyes wander over to the window, and daydreams begin to form freely.*

*Unconsciously she begins to softly hum a sweet melody.*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*comes into class rather late and slips into a chair next to Bronagh*

*leans over and whispers, his lips just a few inches from her, ear as he pulls out his parchment*

You always seem to be giving off this beautiful music...

*wishes that he could be more eloquent in English*

[Sélène Bordeaux]

**follows what others are doing and scribbles some notes too, but keeps wanting to watch Leo and the new Slytherin girl**

**wonders why she cares and sneaks a glance over at Julian who looks just as radiant as usual**

**sighs** If only he were ugly...

[Kai Jones]

*grudgingly pulls out parchment and begins to copy, really slowly*

[Bronagh Edgeworth]

*Jumps slightly in her seat, a voice close to her ear yanks her out of her daydream*

*Scowls, snaps head in the direction of the intrusion and smiles brightly when she notices it is Leo.*

*Feeling very confident she leans in so close her cheek almost brushes his and whispers*

I was doing it again wasn't I?

[Alison O'Sullivan]

*sighs, grabs quill and parchment and starts to copy the questions from the blackboard*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*grins, not moving away from Bronagh at all*

Yes, you were.

*grows quiet for a moment and pretends to be watching the teacher*

... I didn't say you should stop, though.

[Bronagh Edgeworth]

*Sits back in her chair smiles and giggles a laugh that sounds like music*

*Tucks a few strands of hair behind her ear*

*Looks up to the professor then flicks her eyes back to Leo*

*Leans in to Leo again*

*Rolls her eyes, nods to the professor and whispers into his ear*

I'd rather be outside then I can sing.

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*lazily traces a few circles on her arm, looking at her rather than the teacher*

I'd like to see that sometime... or hear it, rather.

*smiles lightly and turns his attention back to class*

[Bronagh Edgeworth]

*Watches his finger for a few moments, blushing*

*Looks to the professor and risks one last peek at Leo*

We shall have to remedy that, no? *softly*

*Turns her head to her parchment and resumes note taking*

*Soft humming again starts as she looses interest in the classwork, as usual*

[Sélène Bordeaux]

**silently watches Leo and the new Slytherin interact and feels her stomach knot up, not realizing why that could be**

**copies what is on the board, keeping an eye on the other Slytherins**

[Kai Jones]

*drops his quill near Selene, which actually involved quite a bit of throwing, and gets out of his seat, bending down beside her desk to pick it up*
