Feel my pain=students=

[Kynthia Boulais]

Cherry had already began whimpering. She silently wondered how that Sarah had ever made Head Girl. Only a handful of Gryffindors had actually seemed nice to her. So what if Cherry suddenly forgot which direction a crowded hallway was going? She couldn't control stuff like that. She wanted to ditch the class but wanted to prove she could be brave and powerful as any Gryffindor or Slytherin.

Cherry accidently twisted her broken hands in her lap. The pain threatened to push her from her seat and she yelped quite like a dog. She recovered and put the broken bones on her desk softly. "Hullo. Oh, nothing. It's just- Umm. Thank you." She said as Alaric approached her. She looked around but kept her head low, "It's not just me then?"

Cherry ducked her head low when Viola threatened her, Cherry tried to straighten her back but just got shivers throughout her spine when she tried. "I said I was sorry, what's your deal?" She almost swiped a paw at the Slytherin but remember her nails were not so sharp at the moment. The threat of violence in this room had not dwindled since she sat down. Cherry put her head down in her arms and began sobbing. She looked up at Alaric tearfully. "You should go, I don't think it is safe to be around me." Cherry was used to saying this line. She spoke more from force of habit than as a reaction to reality. "Please."

Lars just sighed loudly and smiled as he saw Prue raise an eyebrow at him. "I guess you did not expect this to happen right? This class is a total joke." He then edged towards her and whispered, "The professor's under the imperius curse. Someone was trying to manipulate this menagerie of a class for his or her own entertainment." He wanted to know who it was however as this person was nowhere to be found, he just gave up.

He then focused his gaze on Cherry and he felt really sorry for her. He could not understand why she had to be the subject of all this ridicule and shame. He just patted her arm gently and said, "I know that you are saying all these things because you're already used to it, but how can I leave you in such a state like that?" Upon hearing Viola's threat to her, he couldn't help but think if Cherry transformed right there and then, she would've clobbered her good.

He then turned to face Prue, then pointed his wand on the nearest empty chair and summoned it towards them. "See this girl? She is the latest casualty of some student's ruthlessness," he said in jest. "I wonder what will happen right now that the professor's in a loony state."

[Brutus Malfoy]

At the sight of Viktor, Brutus felt Natalie fight him. Brutus was confused. Why was she protecting this boy? Brutus was blocked from her mind. He got to his feet and kicked over the banana scented candle he was using to concentrate. He was not going to let his toy go so easily. Brutus threw a cloak over himself and drew a large hood to cover his head. Then he went into the castle, he travelled to the third floor and located the class in no time at all.

Brutus slipped into the room and took a seat next to Viola. "That was a decent curse. Sadly, I did not care to give you points. If you still want them, stay after class." Brutus looked to Viktor coldly. He wondered if the kid was related to Melkor somehow. Brutus looked to the rest of the class coldly. He wondered if they would protect Natalie or flee.

Brutus coughed when some dust from the cloak got into his nose. He then gave a laugh as Natalie looked in his direction. Brutus straightened his back, unwilling to hide. He thought of demonstrating Cruciatus on Natalie for the class but decided to try to let the students leave first.

[amelie]

Amelie already missed the first DADA class because of a freaking door that would not open; and, she really intended on arriving early. But some girl in her house took the shower to herself for almost an hour and Amelie, having no real sense of time, did not realize it until her silver pocket watch screamed bloody tardy at her. Still not believing someone could take a bath for that long, she finished girly-ing up by performing a simple drying charm on her hair; putting on a yellow headband that matched her Hufflepuff tie; applying her peach lip gloss; and, spraying her strawberry perfume before finally starting the rather short journey to the third floor corridor.

Upon seeing the widely opened door, her smile mimicked its width. Unfortunately, her smile did not stand after she realized what was going on. Immediately, she wanted to know what happened and when she saw Helena sitting alone with an amused look on her face, she decided to approach her. On her way to Ravenclaw’s daughter, she overheard Ric talking about casualties and ruthlessness. Turning toward him, she asked. “What happened, Ric?” Amelie then turned to the girl he was talking about. “Are you alright?” Her concern was obvious in the tone of her inquiry. Her eyes then surveyed the room for the possibly ‘ruthless’ one.

[viola]

Viola raised an eye brow and laughed dryly at Cherry's challenging response. She tipped her head to one side and said sweetly, "I just do not like you Cherry-cake." Viola smirked down at the girl and added, "Enjoy the class. Oh... and watch your back." She laughed out loudly and moved away from Cherry's desk. Just as she sat down, two Ravenclaw bimbos walked into the class. One of them being the delightful daughter of the founder herself.

She started observing her classmates in silence. Viola was seated straight in her chair with one leg gracefully crossed over the other. A frown creased her face when the chair next to hers was dragged backwards and someone sat down. Viola's head whipped into the intruder's direction and frowned at the older man. His face was familiar, but she was pretty sure she had not seen him in Hogwarts.

"Decent? I assure you that does not even compare to what I am capable of," she said airily. Viola laughed and pushed a strand of hair from her face. "I do not care about house points. But I will stay." Viola leaned towards the man and eyed him closely. Her gaze shifted in Natalie's direction. Viola jerked her head and asked softly, "Is that your doing?"

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor just looked at Gwenn not realizing they were seated together, not that he cared, he caught her arm, gripping it tightly as he kept looking at her. "A toy stays with the master and doesn't move away Gwenn, I give you orders, you obey, you know I could find Zak... and torture him, could even bring you his heart if you disobey." Viktor whispered, his voice was dark like always, he pulled her closer and just gave her an aggressive kiss on the lips, he then glanced around the room, seeing an odd man, as he looked at Brutus calmly, he realized that this might have been the person who casted that spell on her. He just grinned, this made things more interesting as he looked at Brutus, he would remain here just to see what the man had planned.

He pointed his wand at the beetle. "Avada Kedavra" Viktor said, a green light coming out and hitting the beetle, as the beetle was motionless, he just looked at it and crunched it with his fist, as he looked at Natalie, the imperio curse seemed to have disappeared, he should of noticed that earlier but he didn't care. He just gave her a smirk. "Well well professor, coming back to your senses are we, can't say I like that, I preferred it when you weren't.. 'yourself.' It was much more.. intriguing. " Viktor then looked at Gwenn, his hand already reaching to her leg without a care in the world if the whole class saw it.

[Kynthia Boulais]

Cherry put her head back down when Alaric refused to follow her warning. She heard Amelie and looked up at her through teary eyes, "Yes, thank you. I will be fine until Viola decides to follow through on her threat." Cherry wiped her eyes and tried to calm down. "I'm Kynthia, though most just call me Cherry because of my middle name."

Cherry began to read the strange, little, handwritten booklet but her gaze was drawn to the doodles on the cover. One depicted a baby being burnt in a ritual. Cherry covered her mouth. She say another drawing of ashes being swept up by a horned, smiling figure. Cherry pushed the book off her desk. This Professor truly sickened her.

Cherry heard Viola's threats repeated but chose to ignore the Slytherin. Cherry had known that Natalie Fletcher was a bad person but she had no idea. She had to force herself from getting up to confront Natalie personally. She watched the Professor closely, watched as the color returned to her face and her eyes came into focus and as Natalie began to stir.

Cherry looked back at what Natalie seemed to be drawn to. To Cherry, the wizard looked like Death. She froze staring at him. She could tell he was too large under the cloak to be a student. But was aware that her first guess had likely been incorrect.

[nataliefletcher]

Natalie fought the Imperius curse for the first time since it had been applied. She had remembered being forced to act for the class but the reality of what was going on surprised her. She was dressed like a clown. Natalie covered her cleavage with a hand. She looked across the classroom, she couldn't remember making these changes herself. Natalie saw the large bear-like form of Brutus enter under a cloak. Her eyes widened as she gazed across at him. He sat down and spoke to one of the Slytherin students. Natalie stood and used her wand to summon a more Professor appropriate robe over her dress.
Natalie wondered how long she had been under the Imperius. She kept her wand in her hand and pointed at Brutus. "No hoods in my class. Take it down, please." Natalie looked at Viktor as he spoke, "Shut up, stupid child." She looked back to Brutus waiting for him to respond.

[Brutus Malfoy]

Brutus watched Viktor as he replied to Viola. "Yes. I cursed her. Took a full day to get her under control." Brutus was intrigued by Viktor. He seemed like Brutus in so many ways. "Who-," Brutus almost inquired about Viktor to Viola but Natalie interrupted him.

Brutus rose from his seat. He stared at Natalie with only a cold smirk showing from under his hood. He had changed his mind by now and didn't want to teach a bunch of worthless brats. "Professor, you don't want to do this now. Your children are watching. I'd hate for them to lose faith in their strong Professor." Brutus stepped up the aisle he was closest to slowly. He wanted to get as close as he could to land the killing blow. "You failed to find my friend, Valenceus, now you'll die for that failure."

[Helena Albertyne Ravenclaw]

Helena could not believe she did not notice Brutus Malfoy’s presence in class. Now that it was apparent that he was responsible for the curse, the young Ravenclaw had no idea what to feel. She wanted to feel sorry for the professor for she really destroyed her strong reputation in class; but, there was a part of her who still wanted to gloat. However, it was Brutus Malfoy involved and Helena was certain that he wasn’t there to teach the professor a lesson. He was there to probably ‘show the muggleborn who’s boss’ or something along that lines because he was one of the people who shared Slytherin’s ideals on blood purity. She sighed, she was not sure what exactly motivated Brutus Malfoy but at least now the professor knew what it felt like to be under someone’s control like that. That may make her think twice the next time she did that to a student or anyone in particular.

[justinlaw]

As Justin continued to torture the beetle into insanity, he still wondered why the professor was beaten by someone and was influenced by the Imperius curse. And what made him think all the more was that who casted the curse on her? In an instant, his question was answered when a man hiding on a hood entered the room. Since the class was in chaos, many students did not manage to notice him. What made him actually surprised that it was Brutus Malfoy who was hiding under the hood. His eyes glowed apparent with curiosity; Brutus was one of the few people whom he respected for his abilities and his beliefs, aside from Lord Slytherin. Now he knew that he was the one responsible for the curse.

He then sauntered over to where he was seated and sat on a seat near him. He was watching him intently on what he was about to do to the professor. When Brutus rose up from his seat and was about to approach the professor to possibly attack her, he had his wand at the ready, yet he did not move an inch at all, waiting to see what would happen.

[nataliefletcher]

Natalie was unaware of half of what Brutus was saying, But she could comprehend that he was going to attack her with the intent to kill. She glared at him coldly knowing the only way to stop his advance was by force. Natalie waved her wand and it cast a impediment jinx. The bolt of light moved through the air swiftly. But only time would tell if it was quicker than Brutus. Natalie got ready to cast a shielding curse if he evaded the curse.

[Brutus Malfoy]

Brutus dashed forward when he detected Natalie's movement. He then ducked Natalie's killing curse. He was still a good few feet from her and two students were in his way. Brutus lifted his own wand and called his magic out clearly, "Confringo." Brutus hit Natalie's shield charm but the force of his favorite spell caused her magic to dispel. Brutus hood fell off as he leapt toward Natalie. He hit her face with both of his forearms as he landed practically on top of her.

[Viktor Mercus Lorrein]

Viktor was lost, that was impossible, he killed that Valenceus guy, how could this be. He rose up pushing the desk in his anger, he then caught a glimpse of what happened, he just smirked when the mudblood teacher died, he just looked at Gwenn. "See that's how your boy will die if you do not obey my commands, now then.. let's go, we got some fun to do." Viktor said, he saw Brutus run away, and was interested in knowing who this man is. Their style was pretty similar, both not afraid and not caring about how outnumbered they could be. He approached Natalie's dead body and just spat on it, kicking on the face. "That's for trying to insult me you rat.... oh... feels so good when she can't talk, don't you agree Peverell?.. She is not the only one dead in Hogwarts." Viktor just said with a laugh, as he turned back to Gwenn, grabbing her forcefully, walking toward the exit, this scene just made him even more excited and he needed that fun but he also had to search for that person later on, to know more about him, he could be useful in his plans for conquest.

For the first time today he then looked at Viola's eyes directly, and then away, it was hard forgetting that moment with her, but he knew he had to, he couldn't let anything bring him down, specially not pathetic feelings like love, he was incapable of loving was he not? He just shook his head and looked at Gwenn. "Stop wasting my time, now move it."

[viola]

Gwennan was trying hard to keep her attention focused on her textbook, however, she soon discarded the attempt when Viktor grabbed her upper arm roughly. She turned to look up at him with a frightened expression. Gwenn gulped at his threats and whimpered softly, "I am sorry... I am sorry." She then took a deep breath and leaned into Viktor's direction, hoping that what ease his wrath against her.

The fourth year Slytherin had been ignoring the rest of the class. Auriga did not like Natalie, but she was actually in class to learn. Auri was staring hard at her beetle. She eventually cast the cruciatus and laughed in delight when the curse worked. When she heard the killing curse being uttered, Auri whirled around to face the caster. She frowned at Viktor and told him, "Show off."

It was at then that Auri noticed the mayhem in the classroom. Viola was chatting with a hooded man. Viktor was harassing Gwenn as usual. Auri's eyes lingered on the Gryffindor and felt actual pity for her. The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were huddled to the side talking amongst themselves. Auriga frowned in their direction and turned her attention back to her beetle.

Viola was impressed with Brutus. She smirked at him and commented simply, "Nice." Her conversation with the older man was rudely interrupted by Viktor and Natalie. Viola folded her arms over her chest petulantly and watched Brutus walk towards the professor. His next words resuscitated her interest. Viola leaned forwards and watched him kill Natalie.

She started laughing and said, "Serves the bitch right." Brutus was soon rushing past them and out of the classroom. Like Viktor, she intended looking for him. Viola was sure he would be a valuable ally. Auriga, on the other hand, was not impressed. She thought that man was too cocky for her liking. And she knew she would like to see him die.

In contrast, Gwennan's reaction was more dramatic. As the dead corpse of Natalie fell to the ground she let out a piercing scream. Gwenn was completely unaware of Viktor until he started yanking her arm. She struggled as he pulled her towards the doorway. "We cannot leave her like that," she said. Seconds after saying that, Gwenn realised it had been a bad idea.

Viola stopped laughing when she heard Viktor's words. Her face flushed with anger and she reached for her wand. She pointed it straight at Gwennan's chest. Viola wanted to exterminate that little slut. She is a Gryffindor by birth, a voice nagged her brain. Viola screamed in frustration and lowered her wand. She caught Viktor's eye and frowned.
