Dristan comes down from his office as the lighting in the room comes on. His very first class he was going to conduct a bit differently. He was going to have all his students in the class today to go over everything for the school year.
His robes open showing a white button up shirt, green loosen tie, black slacks and shoes.
He leans against the long table behind him that had a huge stack of the orientation paperwork behind him.
This was to get all introductions out of the way. His rules, assignments and to include dueling club.
Quietly he waits for his students to arrive.

Yelena and Mattie had met in Potions, and really not stopped talking since. Professor LaFaye had needed to ask them to be quiet twice. A third time would've resulted in house points lost so they'd kept quiet after that.
They walked into DADA side by side.
Yelena grinned at her House Master. "Good morning Professor Adamson," and then she clicked, this was Mattie's father! She'd heard the rumours. She grabbed Mattie's sleeve and dragged her new friend to the front row.

Mattie thoroughly enjoyed Yelena and their little conversations. She couldn't wait for all three of them to become best friends. Kiami was sorted into the same house as Yelena and Mattie had no doubt that they roomed together.
Walking side by side into the DADA classroom she beamed up at her father as Yelena dragged her to the front of the class.
Morticia seemed to already be here sitting on Dristan's desk and Mattie just shook her head. She looked at her father. "Hi Da....Professor." she bite her lower lip feeling quite awkward calling him Professor or Dad with students around.

"Miss Albatros. Miss Adamson." Dark smiles for both ladies as they enter. He sees more students starting to come in as well.
This was definitely a different side of her father for Mattie. After all he had a reputation at Hogwarts.
Dristan remains where he is watching, observing. "Take seats as you come in. If there are none takes places on the wall each side." He speaks coldly.
Afterall this class was to teach them how to protect themselves and more.

Lili walked into class, much like she had every year and every class. Her gloved hands held tightly to her shoulder bag- She was in her fitted uniform- Ravenclaw colors. Her hair was pulled back just by the sides. She saw Mattie with another slytherin student and smiled. She was happy that her cousin was finding her way around the castle. She finds a seat off to the far side of the room and slinks down a little. A large black mass follows her plopping down next to her since she had chosen an end seat. He huffs at her- as if telling her to lighten up and rests his chin on the table.
She still was getting used to being back, surrounded by hundreds of other students. She felt on edge, having to sport the gloves for almost the first time all summer.

Jillian was not far behind Liliana and Raven, hoping that her new friend would remember what they had spoken about regarding this class if it was needed. She follows the two, taking the seat on the opposite side from the canine. She was wearing her standard goggles today as opposed to the ones she had worn to the sorting and looked quite uncomfortable at the fact she had no DADA books yet.
She looked to the front, reminding herself that the professor could not be that bad and that his note allowing her into the class had been pretty polite and welcoming. Thoughts of the dueling club worried her though.

Lili looked up as Jillian joined her on the other side and smiled. "Hey" she whispered as the girl sat down. Raven huffed, almost smiling when Jillian joined them at the table.
"odd isnt it? To have all the years together for an introduction? I dont think i've seen a professor do this before.."

"There were a few joint year exam preparation classes last year, I remember one with Professor Ward, but I don't recall hearing of an induction like this." she whispered in response and flashed Raven a smile, "I hope he doesn't ask anyone to cast any spells, I'd hate to embarass myself in front of the first years."

Mattie looked behind her as all more students showed up. She saw her cousin and smiled softly to her and then saw the giant dog. Morticia was the first to jump off of Professor Adamson's desk to go investigate and Mattie turned to Yelena. "Save my spot." she whispered and slipped through the growing crowd.
She stopped just short of the giant dog and boy did she ever love animals. She just started to talk to it like she had any other animal. She looked up to Lili with a bright smile on her face. "He is beautiful." she whispered. "I am glad you are here." she smiled and hugged her cusion.

Lili nods to Jillian. "I just will have wait and see what happens." She looks up to see Mattie join them and smiled. "Hey shorty" She said with a smile. She couldn't exactly say anything- she was short herself but she smiles and hugs her back. "Thats Raven. He's like your kitten....just bigger and fluffier." She laughed.
"We'll see how glad we are when....Professor Adamson brings down the hammer on all of us" she laughed a bit.

Mattie bent down then and gave Raven a mighty big hug as Morticia then climbed up on the dog's head. Mattie laughed and looked up at Lili whispering. "Do you really think dad would bring the hammer down on his two favorites girl's?" she giggled softly and looked to the other student wearing the goggles on her head.
"Those are cool." she said quietly.

Jillian smiled brightly, not recognising the girl in her uniform. "Thanks, I'm glad you think so. I've a feeling they will become a lot more popular next year," she giggles a little and looks at Liliana, "Another of your cousins?" she asked.

Lili looks to Jillian and Nods. "Indeed. This is Dr--uh, Yea. His daughter." She laughed a little. "Mattie, this is Jillian. She's in Ravenclaw with me. And we found our we're roommates this term. Good people if i'm not around and you need something"

Mattie turned her head slightly. "Why would goggles ever be in style? Aside from those conventions where people dress up?" she chuckled softly. "But they look good on you." she looked back to Lili.
"Okay. I should probably go back to my seat. You both are lucky. My two roommates are more interested in rumors about Dad and you and I wish I could go somewhere else." she shrugs her shoulders and scoops Morticia up and heads back to her seat next to Yelena.

Liliana's praise made Jillian look a little uncomfortable but she smiled brightly at the younger girl. In response to the question she taps the side of her nose, "Its a secret I'm afraid, but I am hoping I'll be right!"
As soon as Mattie had turned about heading off she giggled, "She is cute. Right about being lucky with the roommate though, assuming luck actually has anything to do with it."

Dristan watched quietly as Lilianna. Jillian and others came in. Still no Dmitry which meant he could not announce the dueling club captain and he hated having to wait.
He leans off the table and with a whisper and wave of his wand the huge stack of orientation paperwork and parent permission forms flew out to the student in their proper years and the parental forms to the sixth and seventh years.
"Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I am Professor Adamson. As you all can tell this first class I am doing a bit differently so that all information for this course is covered at one time."
Slowly he began to walk among the students. "You will find in front of you the orientation guides for your respected years. In these guides it will tell you what spells I will be teaching you and dark creatures I will cover." The way he spoke and carried himself right now was of dedication, disciplined and stern.
"Sixth and Seventh years you also have parental permission forms that need to be signed by your parents or guardian for the dueling club. If you do not desire to be in the duleing club please see me after class."
He turns now and heads to the front of the class. "If you do not have the proper books or materials for this class, please see me after class." He continues.
"Boys and girls this is not an easy class. It requires dedication, confidence, hard work, focus and determination. Know that the creatures I show you in this class you are all safe from harm. Should anything arise you will take care of."
He leans on the table once more. "In addition to this class all years will also take Vampire Studies with Professor Kestrel. I will also be in that class to assist Professor Kestrel. Now before I continue are there any questions students?"

Mattie listened to her father and watched as papers flew around the class to settle with each student in attendance. She looked at the paper in front of her and looked back up to her father. The dueling portions didn't pertain to her so she sort of zoned out thinking about her potions class from earlier.
She listened back as he addressed the different creatures in the class and the vampire class. She didn't have any questions and if she had it certainty wasn't going to be in front of the entire school.

Yelena listened intently, accepting her orientation guide and glancing through it. She was curious about one thing, so raised her hand, looking right st Professor Adamson.
"Sir," she asked, when he called on her, "is it true that Pofessor Kestrel is a vampire herself?"
She was most curious. She knew the professor taught Muggle Studies. She wasn't really interested in Muggle Studies, but it was a core subject now and had no choice. But learning from a real life vampire might make it worthwhile.

As Dristan carried on, Dmitry quietly slipped in to the back of the class. He would not say anything yet. He would not interrupt his dad's class. The new school year was not off to the best start. as he sat down he got out his quill and parchment. He knew he was going to hear about this later.

As soon as Dmitry sat down an orientation packet and a parental permission form flew across the classroom and slammed right at his son's face as Dristan looked at Dmitry with a stern look.
"Be on time. You will lose house points for being late." He left it there and looked at Yelena sinc it seemed she was the only one in the entire room that had a question.
"Yes Miss Albatros...Professor Kestral is indeed a vampire but the proper term is kindred." He nods to her and even a slight smile was seen.
"Now this is the part where you all need to ask all your questions. When we officially start tomorrow we dive right in our studies. An unanswered question could lead you all into trouble that could have been prevented if the question was asked."
He slowly looks at all the students.

Lili watches Yelena as she speaks. There something something about her...curious. Her eyes shifted, watching as the packet and forms flew across the room. She turned to see them make contact with Dmitry and stiffled a laugh.
"Professor, If you and Professor Kestrel will be in each others classes at some point in the term- Is it safe to say that their may be times when the classes will combine into one lesson- instead of just having them separated..."

Jillian had sunk low in her chair following Professor Adamson's initial address but perked up as Yelena asked her question. She watched the girl intently as if trying to memories her features, not even looking away when the forms flung themselves across the room at the latecomer. As soon as the pale young girl had mentioned Professor Kestrel's name Jillians mind had begun to race. She could not make out too much in the way of resemblance but then again she had not expected to.
It was only when Liliana spoke up beside her that she looked away, her thoughts running through what had been said. Professor Adamson used the word Kindred, that was a surprise. That raised some questions about how much the Professor did and did not know. That was certainly not a question she could ask though. She thought hard about any questions she could ask while waiting to hear what the answer to Liliana's was. If her friend was brave enough to speak up in front of so many students then she should be able to as well.

Dristan looks over to Lili when she asks her question. "You are correct Miss Adamson. Professor Kestral and I will be combining both classes at certain points and all students will be notified when it is time."
He looks around for a moment and rubs his chin. He removes his robes and rhe students would see his robes float over to a rack and hang.
He rolls his sleeves up and looks back to the students. "Keep them coming boys and girls."

Mattie honestly was pulling a blank at what to ask her father. She really didn't know what to ask. She would have more questions when class came around but right now? In front of everyone, she choose to keep to herself as she began to sketch in her journal.
She looked up as her father took off his robes and rolled his sleeve up. She looked back down to her journal, drawing eyes.

The professor removing his robe only made Jillian more nervous but a quick glance to Liliana cemented her decision to ask her question. She began to raise her hand and then thought better of attracting that much attention to herself, "How will the duelling club be organised, Professor? Is it entirely practical? Will it all be against each other? Who else is involved in its running?" she asked, her voice as firm as she could make it though inside she could feel herself sinking back into the chair.

"Dueling Club..." Dristan looks over and sees Jillian. "I am in charge overall. Under me each house will have a dueling captain for each house teams. As of right now sixth years and above only." He leans off the table.
"It is practical. It is a competiton but nothing life threatening. You will compete against one another and practice schedules will be created by the captains and brought to me for approval. Slytherin has a captain already. Now who will step up Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?"
He was really looking right now. Who would stand out for their houses. Who had the courage and the drive?"

Lili smiled and nods to his answer, looking over to Jillian as she asks her question. As Dristan talks more she raises a brow at the mention of who will step up for each of the other houses. She bit her lip. Part of her wanted to step up, but she was nervous. She looked to Jillian as if asking for confirmation on whether she should do it. Maybe it would be good for her to step up and take a leader role...

Jillian nodded slowly, biting her lip a little as she listened to all that was said. When the challenge was sent out she looked around the room, her first thought being whether Victoire would volunteer but she had no idea if the older girl was even taking DADA. She could not see her, but the room was quite packed with younger students for whom the class was compulsory. There did not seem all too many Ravenclaws who had selected the subject for their NEWTs and among those who had she recognised faces who were already quite caught up in other teams and clubs. They were not going to volunteer.
She caught Liliana's eyes and was surprised by what she saw there, hadn't her friend said only a few days ago that she was worried she would struggle at duelling. Since Dristan seeked distracted looking to some of the students from other houses as if challenging them to speak up she leant close and whispered to Liliana, "If you think you could handle it all, I'll certainly support you. The Slytherins and Gryffindors will likely be dominating anyway, so if the worse happens everyone will accept it. What is there to lose?"

Lili looks at Jillian and nods. "I dont know if anyone else would step up...and If I dont...Then we dont have a captain...." She looks over at her and sighs. Looking back to Dmitry. Would he support her in this? She finally gets bold before standing in her seat. Raven stands next to her with a smile across his face.
"I'll take the challenge and step up for Captain for Ravenclaw" She says. She was trying to stay confident, but everything about her screamed she was nervous to take the position.

The force of the packet tilted his chair just a bit. Yep his dad was upset. Holding the packets mere centimeters from his knows he lowered them to his desk and sat quite, the look on his face was still that of knowing this wouldn't be the end of it. He looked around seeing everyone was watching him, so he straighten his face and sat up. assuming a more laid back posture.
When Dristan mentioned the Dueling club Dmitry sat bolt up right, he could wait to get the club underway. He was excited to find the talent in each house and build a championship all star team. However you could have knocked him out of his chair with a slight breeze when Lil stepped up as captain for Ravenclaw. This day seemed to be picking up after all. He gaped at her for only a few seconds and then remembered him self shut his mouth, again getting comfortable in his chair, although inside sitting still was the last thing he wanted to do.
