Lesson One- Introduction

[Elizabeth Aphrodite]

Lizzie strolled into the classroom that had been assigned for her combat lessons. It was rather large and spaceous. She was going to use the hall but felt that other subjects, such as Dueling, would be better there as a spell could fire someone back. Muggle sports, however, wouldn't do that. She flicked her wand and all the desks disappeared. With a second flick, the chairs pushed themselves out, and placed themselves on one of the sides. Opposite the chairs, sat the equipment that she'd be using in her lessons, such as basic knifes, fencing gear, matts and such. The room was around 3 times the size of a normal classroom, so rather spaceous.

Her desk was placed near to the door but she didn't really need to be there. For now, however, she sat on the edge of her desk, looking towards the door as she waited for the arrival of her students. She'd quickly brief them up on what they'd learn this term, ask them if they had anything in particular that they wanted and then answer any questions. Once all that was done, she'd quickly show them some of the equipment that they'd be using. Basically just introducing it to them.

She hoped that the students wore clothes like jeans or tracksuits, as she had recommanded. Rather then robes, as that would be harder to fence in. Before finishing her lesson, she'd give them some tasks to do and see how well they can cope already and what more she'd need to teach.

Summer strolled into the rather large room, she was wearing basic tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt that she had found in her bag. She shot a polite smile to the Headmistress, as she wasn't planning on getting to bad terms with her, and then sat down on one of the chairs as the Headmistress had motioned for her to sit down. Smirking, she noticed the swords, bows and arrows, foils and sabres, and such laying opposite the chairs. Ok so it was muggle forms of fighting but it could prove useful one day.

OOC: Seeing as I'm the only other one on... here Jasper is... the coolest kid around... he's cooler than Asher anyday. Dumb Asher.

IC: Jasper walked in. Not strolled. That's the dumb person way to walk. He actually WALKED in. With jeans. And a t-shirt. Then, he sat down. On the floor. In a back corner. Bored.

[Cynthia Veneficus]

((Lol what's Asher got to do with anything ? Meh, Asher's dull too!! Jasper is pretty smart ))

Summer smiled as she noticed Jasper. He WALKED in but she preferred strolling as it showed her lack of euthanism. Plus strolling in a slower way of walking and she wasn't fond of getting to lessons rapidly so strolling was good enough for her.

[Boone Cohen]

Yeah, but strolling is the way older people get around... watch older people... they tend to stroll a lot. Jasper sat there. The clueless guy...

Artemis walked in in a t-shirt and jeans and sat down against a wall. She leaned casually against it and smiled at Jasper. Then Summer. But Jasper first. She blushed and glanced up at the teacher, wondering when class would begin.

[Cynthia Veneficus]

Summer nodded to Artemis. She shot a smile her way, ignoring her sore eyes and her stone-cold heart that burnt. She seemed happy to others but wasn't. She couldn't see how she'd be happy but she didn't care. Riley was safe, for now, and that was all that mattered to her at the moment.

[Asher Seagle]

Asher entered the room and ignored Summer since that was what they had agreed too. Of course, he wanted to talk to her quite a bit, but it just couldn't happen. "Hi," he said dully to Artemis as he took a place beside her. His emotions had been constantly switching aruond over the past few days. He was angry, sad, and very bored.

[Elizabeth Aphrodite]

"Welcome," Lizzie started as she got up and walked infront of them. There was 3 students missing, one with a satisified reason but she decided that she'd start teaching, "Here I will be teaching you some of the muggle forms of fighting. It will be helpful, at least I hope so, and I hope that you learn a lot from here. Besides learning, this subject is quite fun if you like this kind of stuff so I hope that you'll enjoy it too. Now, I have some equipment to show you," she said as she motioned to the foils and swords ahead of them. "Then I'll allow you all to have a go at Fencing." she added. "Is there any questions?" she asked the class so she could go on.

[Cynthia Veneficus]

Summer shook her head slowly and then glanced at her watch. She had a while to go. Darn! I shouldn't of even come here.. she thought slowly but then realised that the teacher might be able to read her mind. She had like 30 minutes though, so she waited for the teacher to continue. Maybe she'd be able to sneak out when they all start practising...

[Asher Seagle]

Asher glanced curiously over at Summer, despite what his brain was telling him and wondered what she was all anxious about. He really wanted to talk to her, but he knew he shouldn't. Oh screw it... acquaintances can talk... right? Because that's we are... stupid miserable acquaintances.He slowly walked towards her, but not as if it was she that he was talking towards. "So uh..." he started, not really sure what to say. He ended up saying the first thing that popped into his mind. "How's Riley?"

[Cynthia Veneficus]

Summer shallowed as she heard his voice. Her stomach tightened only too fast. She wanted it to go back to normal, back to how it was before. And right now, she only saw one way. That way would be executed in less then 30 minutes. She couldn't look at him, as it would make her want to reach out. So she merely muttered, "Riley... he's fine. Well he will be." she wasn't sure if she should tell him but decided not to. Not yet anyway, it wasn't that she didn't trust him but it was that he wouldn't allow her to go through with it. And she had to. Besides, she could explain the whole thing afterwards anyway.

[Elizabeth Aphrodite]

Lizzie examined the students, she nodded to herself as none of them asked a question. "Right well we'll get right down to it. Firstly, we are going to try some fencing." She said as she picked up a foil. "This is a foil, the beginner's weapon to fence with. After you can fence with sabres." she said slowly as she bent the foil to show it's flexability. "Make sure that it has a rubber bit on the end, so it doesn't hurt the oppotent." she added as she motioned to the rubber blob at the end. "I want you all to try some tasks that I'm going to set out for you. Firstly, pick up some of those rubber knifes and try to hit those targets." she motioned to the crate of rubber knives on the table and then to the targets on the opposite end. "While you have a go with that, I want two students to come here and try a bit of fencing. You two, please." she said as she motioned to Summer and Asher. "Miss Moon and Mr Jasper, please try the targets."

[Asher Seagle]

Asher saw the way she responded as cold since she wouldn't even dare to look at him. He didn't say anything but merely made his way back over to his original seat. He heaved a sigh as the headmistress started to talk. A groan slipped out of his mouth as he heard he would be dueling with Summer. Asher nodded and stood up, not facing Summer but the floor.

((What exactly is Summer gonna do in 30 minutes? Lol))

[Cynthia Veneficus]

((You'll see I'm bored so when I get bored... You'll understand ))

Summer glanced up abruptly as she heard her name get joined with his. Her eyes protraited a hint of fear in them for the first time, she couldn't look at him and that's why she didn't. Now the teacher wanted her to fight him? Staggering to get up, she slowly stumbled her face to the teacher.
