David had spent a good amount of time preparing for this lesson. While it wasn't day one of class, the first classes weren't really much to write home about, but his plan for this class should be fun. It was going to be their first practical class, and he felt it was best to do it at the beginning of the year after doing some of the routine checking to see how much everyone knew. It was also the perfect way to get to know each of his students a little bit better.
Trotting down from his office to the classroom, clutching his bag to his chest, he set it down going over what he was supposed to say – he wasn't someone who had studied to be a professor – he wasn't really used to the explaining things to everyone. Normally he ran out after people who escaped custody before they managed to get their way to the prison and few words were exchanged. He could feel his hands shaking slightly as this was a momentous class for him. After all, practical applications were the most important part of the class in general and while he was good at catching people, he had to make sure to explain how to do the things he knew how to do.
He set his bag on his desk and waved his wand to pull out a wardrobe which shook slightly. He swallowed looking at it for a moment. Honestly, he had no idea what was on the other side for him. What it would turn into. Would it be a mirror image of himself? The real David McKay on the other side? Or perhaps it would be Tom from class given he made his entire life hell? Clearing his throat he opened it to see what he would see, that way if necessary he wouldn't blindsided if something ,happened during the class.
After seeing what it became, he quickly flicked his wand and locked it back up. He rubbed his forehead for a moment and then nodded, swallowing thickly. "Good morning c-class, today w-we will –" He stopped and shook his head. "No stammering. You sound like a house elf who did something wrong." He told himself and then looked back at the mirror he had been talking to. In the last few classes he stumbled over his words and seemed like a fool, but he was going to do his best to reverse their current thoughts of him. Confidence!
With a firm nod, he decided practicing would just make things worse and he took a seat at his desk, leaning forward and waiting for the class to arrive.

She had left her brother and his bumbling idiots behind; it was better this way, better for her not to witness their idiocy. She didn't want to feel she needed to react to it, to be responsible where she didn't need to be responsible. McGonagall would catch them, hopefully, anyway. She slid into the DADA classroom, looking a tad miffed, but her gaze turned to Professor McKay and she smiled.
"Good Morning!"
She slid into a seat, arranging her bag under the table where it wouldn't be in anyone's way and then leaned on the desk, waiting for the others to show.

Sirius had left his friends behind, or rather they had just fallen behind as was usually when there was a defense against the dark arts class to be getting to. It was one of the select few that he enjoyed attending. He took several shortcuts to get to the classroom faster, and he had seen Rose pass by the passage where he was, before he casually slid out the door behind the small tapestry that mostly covered the entrance/exit to where he was at. "Morning Professor." He greeted the man sitting behind his desk at the front of the room.
'Oh so many seats, where to sit where to sit?' Sirius questioned himself and deciding to take the seat right behind Rose. He reached forward and light pulled on hair to get her attention. "Hey Rosy! I didn't think you'd beat me here." As he said that Sirius had pulled out his chair, sat down, put his feet up on the desk, leaning back in his seat just a little bit. To wait for the others to arrive.

Marlene was not having a good morning at all. She had woken up early like normal and had gotten ready for the day before heading down to the Great Hall for breakfast and just as she had entered some first year had gotten up with a plate of food, and promptly tripped on the bench when she was passing, and the plate of food had gotten spilled all over her. Sure she had magic but Marlene just helped the first year up off of the floor and then she turned and left the hall. She had gone to the kitchens after waving her wand over herself cleaning all of the food off. There she had gotten some breakfast, served by the house elves of the school, whom she had always treated well. And then on her way to class she had passed, James, Remus, and Peter, whom in turn, mostly James, had tried to tease her about it as he thought it was funny. But she just brushed past them with a straight, and cold look on her face.
Upon reaching class Marlene put her bag on the floor next to a desk right by Sirius and Rose, but she refrained from saying anything to them, hoping they would say anything about the food being spilled all over her. It wasn't the first time something like that had happened, mostly during her first and second year when she still had a bit of trouble controlling her veela magic. Then she noticed the professor up front, and greeted him with a small smile. "Morning professor."

Severus had just about as far to go as the others, given the towers were four floors from the third and the dungeons four floors as well. Well just about the same amount of area to go. However, he wasn't in too much of a hurry – but he hoped he could catch a seat next to Rose. Given she was somewhat popular in the student base, and ever since that little encounter with Sirius he was sure that his little band of friends would be essentially trying to protect her from him (then again, that was probably his low expectations of those bumbling idiots).
When he arrived in the classroom, he saw both Rose and Sirius were there. Of course, Black had arrived before him. Nonetheless, it wouldn't keep him from claiming the seat next to Rose. He gave Sirius a quick wink before leaning down and kissing Rose's cheek. Giving Sirius a cheeky grin, he took his seat next to Rose before looking towards the front at the professor.
Unfortunately for all of their DADA professors, Severus had lost hope in getting a good one – plus, it was Defense Against the Dark Arts, not Dark Arts, which he found more interesting – though both were incredible to him. If you learned to defend from the Dark Arts, you could learn how to understand them better. "Couldn't find your mouth, McKinnon?" Oh yes, he noticed this morning.

She was late. She had gotten lost; five years one would think she would know this school well enough by now but unfortunately, it was a magical school, with magical stairs, that MOVED and given the fact that she had not been in her common room nor at breakfast before class started, one could only assume the little Puff was up to no good.
As it was, this was true. After the...ahem...incident in the hall after trailing Rose and Severus, a certain Gryffindor had bolted and well, she didn't take being kissed and run on very well. He had been avoiding her, somehow being able to get pulled away by his sister, or Sirius, or James... she didn't know how he did it, but dammit! It was infuriating. Where was that boys Gryffindor spirit?
Nevertheless, heart sunk, she finally made her way into the DADA class, only--as she was well distracted by her thoughts--to have her foot catch on one of the chairs and she, along with it, fell to the ground with a clutter.
Fantastic.

He was so glad that they had finished this map and it worked so spectacularly. He had used it to avoid a certain metamorphagus after making such a fool of himself in the halls. However, this morning one of the others had the map, and it wasn't that big of a deal, he would just have to be careful. It wasn't like the map was just his either, so it wasn't a big deal he couldn't have it all the time to avoid a girl he had a slight crush on. And had kissed. Boy, he hoped his friends wouldn't hear about what happened – luckily, it happened under James's cloak, so no one saw it happen. Therefore, Nymphadora herself was the only source anyone could hear it from. He thanked Merlin that it was the case.
However, as he made his way to the DADA room, he had found himself backtracking too often, and was starting to run late. He just had to go there and stop worrying about it – it was going to be alright. She was in this class anyways… so it wasn't like he could skip class. He had heard a rumor about what was happening today and given the story his father told about how he met his mum… well, he was excited for this one in particular. Then again, it was only a rumor.
Remus finally made it to the classroom, but due to the fact he was a little bit distracted, he found himself falling to the floor – someone had tripped right in front of him. Thinking quickly, he cast a spell to make it so he didn't hurt whoever it was, and found himself hands on the ground, knees on the ground, right on top of the girl he was trying to avoid.
His eyes widened as he realized what had happened, his face turning to a nice beautiful shade of red. "N-Nymphadora… S-Sorry!" He quickly got up, and offered her a hand, his eyes full of fear, worry, but most of all, embarrassment.

The Auror-now-Professor greeted each student as they walked in, though he noticed one particular Slytherin who seemed to want to cause a little bit of trouble. Not that he blamed him – from what he knew, Sirius Black and his friends were sworn enemies of Severus Snape. And the girl he kissed on the cheek? That was Rose Lupin, sister to one of Black's friends. It had been a week and he was already starting to be caught up on all the teenage drama these kids were going through. He remembered those days. Mostly the girls were crawling all over Tom. He wasn't quite the most popular guy with the girls – but he didn't really mind too much. Tom didn't seemed to care either – though he wondered if Tom could even understand those types of feelings…
Regardless, he watched on amused a bit by it all, but he ended up standing up. "Now that's enough Mr. Snape." He would rather stop something from happening if he could. However, the young boy looked at him and crossed his arms. A grimace. Oh great. Did he say something wrong?
"Don't call me Mr. Snape. That's my father."
Oh great. He was one of those types. "Right, Severus,," McKay wasn't quite sure himself how to address him in that case – at least professionally. Professors didn't talk to their students with their first names usually, but he didn't know what else to do. He couldn’t just call him 'Snape'. That was disrespectful. Oh well, he decided that if he was going to call him by his first name, he needed to make sure to call all his students by the first name as well. "I would rather there not be an incident before class begins –"
And that's when a certain Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor came waltzing in, tripping over each other. He could see the boy's face darken with a blush, and McKay almost facepalmed. Yet another teenage drama waiting to happen. Even while he might complain internally, McKay almost envied them – young and in love, not a care in the world. Able to just do what they wanted, go to school, not worry about the world and how everything was going down.
Of course, he was sure it was on some of their minds – some of these people would join Tom, and some of them would fight against him. They'd end up fighting each other. McKay just hoped he could give them enough, so they could survive against each other at least until Tom was taken down. He hoped that even those who joined Tom's side would be able to survive – he didn't want any of these kids to die because of that guy.
"Right. We'll be starting class in a moment, so if you'll all get settled in your seats…" He cursed himself internally for sounding like such a boring prat.

"Of course I would beat you here, you troublemaker, there was no way I was going to be in that hall if McGonagall came through," she sneered at him, but there wasn't any heat behind it. Just typical 'my brother's friend are really annoying'. She eyes Marlene as she came in.
"Marlene, you okay?" she voiced the question softly, catching the girls eye for a moment. Rose felt it was a little awkward, but knew the girl was in Remus' circle. Any friend of Remus was a friend of hers, right? Well, that's what he claimed.
She wasn't sure why, but Rose has been certain that Severus would choose a seat on his own. That was a silly assumption. They were dating and were supposed to act like it, in private or not. Her smile did nothing to hide her delight as he pressed a kiss to her cheek and sat down beside her. Quickly before her brother arrived she pressed a kiss to his cheek in greeting as well, paired with a softly whispered "good morning" into his ear and ran her fingers gently through his hair.
She was about to say something to him for his sharp words agains McKinnion but then there was a crash--well, it sounded more like a bang--causing her to jump her arms wrapping about Severus' as she turned towards the source of the noise. Ah, Tonks. Resident catastrophe maker and a complete klutz. This class was no exception. She giggled, lightly, but then her brother arrived, not seeing the lump of student on the floor and immediately fell over her. Her eyes widened. The compromising position only last a fair moment, but long enough for her to catch, memorize and she had to turn her face into Severus' shoulder to keep her giggles at bay.
Was it just her, or did Professor McKay sound terrified?

"Troublemaker? You're words wound me Rosy." He said dramatically clutch at his heart. But couldn't keep the smirk off of his face. Sirius did the smart thing for once and kept quite as Marlene walked in, although he did grin at her. Next in was Snape who was acting a bit bold in Sirius' eyes. The git just had to be glad the Remus wasn't here for that little display of affection. He just rolled his eyes at Snape. But his entertainment wasn't over with quite yet it seemed as his wonderful cousin, came in, and promptly tripped, which in turn made him laugh. He burst into even a harder set of laughter when Remus had walked in and tripped over Tonks. But after a look to see the position that they were in Sirius couldn't help himself and at the expense of hopefully embarrassing both of them. "Oi! Remus. Stop trying to feel up my cousin. There are broom closets and many other rooms for that kind of thing."
Sirius was quite positive that Remus had no idea how to act around girls, ones he might like. "Most of us are seated professor, and it looks like Tonks, and Remus have decided to lay down for this class. I wouldn't pay them much attention. They won't get up to much in such a public place." He said when the professor told them to take their seats. And he smirked a little bit more since he realized that there were going to be so many people late to class. What a bunch of dunderheads.

"Do your eyes not work Severus?" Marlene answered with a question of her own in a rather, you better stop before you dig yourself into a hole look.. Seriously did he not see that she was not at fault for the first year spilling a plate of food all over her? Clearly not. Turning her attention to Rose, she gave the girl a smile just for asking if she was alright and said. "I'll be fine Rose, I've had this kind of thing a happen before, but you might want to keep your dog on a leash, unless he some how finds himself in the hospital wing, or maybe wearing a tutu of varying colors for the day." Oh that would be hilarious. She did love a good prank every now and then but this would be in retaliation. Plus she had only ever been nice to Severus. Sure they might not be friends per se, but they had been cordial with one another.
And then there was Tonks, brightening her day but tripping, it made her laugh and started to help her get out of her funk. Maybe this class wouldn't be so bad after all. Marlene also happened to notice the reaction of a certain Rose Lupin, jumping into Severus's arms and giggling. Oh there was something going on there, of that she was sure. Settled in their seats? Oh another one who can't use their eyes today, or was it the fact that there could be others standing outside, but couldn't get around the tangle of bodies that was Remus, and Tonks? She gave the professor a kind smile, and said. "Of course. But they might need some help getting untangled professor."

"Right, sir, won't happen again, unless they don't play fair." After being talked to by the professor, Severus just gave McKinnon an annoyed look. Sure, they were on not terrible terms, but she was a Gryffindor. And unless they were named Lily Evans, he didn't like Gryffindors. However, he did not like being called a dog. Normally he would retort, something about how he was right there and not a dog, but looking right at one, yada yada. Today, he decided he would behave. Only because Rose was there and probably would get angry if he acted out too much. Still, he planned to retaliate if they did anything that was completely unprompted from him.
When Rose giggled, leaning into him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at the scene her brother had made. He had to admit it was amusing, especially with Lupin's reaction. The guy looked like a tomato freshly picked. While normally he'd complain about Tonks making such an entrance, it gave an excuse for Rose to essentially hug at him. While he expected to be surrounded by a bunch of Gryffindors, given his seat choice, it was a bit unsettling, and he was definitely going to have to get used to it.

Today was not her lucky day. She had made a complete klutz out of herself and now she had been fallen on to. Worse that, it had been Remus. She clenched her jaw to keep the blush at hand and pushed herself up to her feet, ignoring the proffered hand from him. She didn't quite like being ignored, so she would give him the benefit and keep on ignoring him. After picking herself up off the floor she slid into the seat next to Marlene, looking put off.
Tonks gave a look around the room. There was Rose and Severus, and Rose was currently hiding her face in said kid's shoulder. Giggles she would assume. Normally, Tonks would've found the whole situation hilarious herself--she'd learned to laugh at herself in the face of her embarrassment--but because it had been Remus, and he had decided to pretend she didn't exist, well, she didn't feel much like laughing at it. Her taking the seat next to Marlene left the seat open to Sirius, which she figured Remus would be much more comfortable with, even if it was behind the two sweethearts.
Actually, that could be amusing, as it was, she would have to attempt to behave in class. But those two... just made themselves such easy targets.

Remus's jaw clenched when she didn't take his hand, and completely ignored him. He deserved it regardless. "Sorry, Professor," Remus mumbled, walking towards Sirius's seat and then gently slapping the backside of his head before quickly going to the back of the classroom and taking the corner seat. He pulled out his notebook for notes and then quickly pulled his legs up to his chest while sitting in his seat. Boy, it looked uncomfortable. Though, surprisingly it was comfortable despite how it might look.
Boy he made a fool of himself just now. He'd been avoiding her, and he was reaping what he sowed, and of course, he had to trip over her like that – in that position on top of her. He let out a shaky sigh and looked forward towards the Professor. Boy, he wasn't used to sitting so far back. Normally he was a good student and sat up front, but right now he didn't want anyone looking at him – paranoia would get the best of him and he'd think everyone was staring at him. In the back, people couldn't stare as easily, even if he wanted to sit by Sirius.

He looked between the students, blinking a couple times. Just what had he gotten himself into? Luckily, the class seemed to be settling in, more students filing in and filling the rest of the seats. He cleared his throat, standing up. Upon realizing he had grabbed his bag and hugged it to his chest, he quickly set it back down. Great, now you look like an even bigger idiot. You really are playing the Hufflepuff thing really well here.
"Alright, alright, now that we've settled down, I'll be going over today's lesson. Today we'll being doing something a bit more practical that reading out of the book or listening to me to drone on." Good start, now just keep it up, you can do this. He was coaching himself internally, his voice wavering just slightly. "I'm sure that is highly disappointing to all of you." That was sarcasm. Good, start developing some humor in class. "We'll be going over boggarts." He taps the wardrobe, which shakes in response. "Boggarts take the form of your worst fear. Hmmm… Rose Lupin, why don't you come up and help show the class?"
He gives her a small smile, and provided that she walks up to where he was. "Now what I want you to do is think of something funny. Then you'll point your wand at the figure and use the incantation 'Riddikulus'." He'd wait for her to say the incantation back to him, correcting her if she said it wrong. "Prepare yourself." He quickly nodded and flicked his wand at the wardrobe, unlocking it and standing aside. Man, he wasn't good at this pacing thing, just setting a student to use the spell after such little explanation?
