Lesson 2- Vampires

[Headmistress Mayu Sohma]

Mayu sighed gently, thinking of what to do. She walked over to her chalkboard and wrote;

Lesson 2; Vampires.

She smiled at it, set the chalk back where it belonged and sat upon her desk. She then waited for her students to arrive.

Jared walked into the classroom kind of quietly. He took a seat and looked around the room. He noticed that he was the first one in the room. He took out some papers and he read the board. He got some ink and quill ready for writing. Just in case they did any. If not, he didn't care. At least he was prepared. When he was all set he asked the professor, " are we going to get homework today?" and then sat quietly for an answer.

[Vicky Granger]

Vicky walked into the room and noticed the board. " Vampires. Oh well. Good morning profesesor." Vikcy took her usual seat and sat there waitng for everybody else to come. " Oh hello there Jared. What's up?" Vikcy asked noticing Jared.

[fennecas]

Jared watched as Vicky entered into the DADA classroom. " nothing much...just lots of homework from Arithmancy...that's all really...what about you though? "

[Headmistress Mayu Sohma]

Mayu turned her gaze towards Jared. "Well right now homework depends on the class. If you guys particpate good enough and answer all of my questions then no homework. If not then you will have homework." she said to him.

Saw then saw Vicky walk into the classroom. "I'm good Ms. Granger. Once more students arrive we shall begin." she said to them

[fennecas]

Jared smiled " thankyou for informing me about this Professor" Jared said this politely. He wasn't too good at classes but he wanted to good this lesson because it sounded like fun. He was tryin really hard to be a good student.

[Arlene Fleurie]

Li arrived at the class a bit angry, Nick told her to wait for him that he surely would be on time but she waited more than half an hour and he didn't arrive after all. She sighed and said in a normal tone, "Hello" then she took a seat, then all her problems were part of a simple memory because when she saw that they will be talking about Vampires she felt Happy, then she noticed that Jared was there and said in a better tone "Hi Jared, I didn't notice you.... but how are you doing?"

[fennecas]

Jared noticed that Li walked into the room and when she started talking to him, a smile grew upon his face." hey Li, I am doing great. What about you? You look kind of troubled."

[Headmistress Mayu Sohma]

Mayu stood up, she decided to start class. She walked over to chalkboard and stood infront of it.

"Today we are going to be talking about vampires. But first of all can anybody tell me a little something about them?" she asked the class

[Donat Fleurie]

Donat arrived in a big hurry surely Li will be angry with him and that the class has started already... he took a deep breath and said "Sorry for being late professor, I have no excuse..." after that he sat down at a far place. Finally he felt better when he saw that the class will be about Vampires, when the professor asked them what could they say about Vampires he rose his hand and said "Vampires are Dark creatures which feed themselves with blood"

[Headmistress Mayu Sohma]

Mayu nooded her head. "Correct Mr. Fleurie. They are dark creatures thar fest on human blood." she said and walked to her chalkboard. She grabbed a piece of chalk and placed it on the board, letting it write out the notes.

Vampires are considered non-wizard part-human. They are considered as 'beasts' in human form, because they feast off of human blood. They roam the night in search of victums and are assosciated with Romania & Transylvania. But they are different types of vampires, there are halflings, pureblood vampires and your regular vampire.

Halflings are half vampire. Usually half human and half vampire, they like this until their first kill. After they have a taste of human blood they become a vampire.

Pureblood vampires are the ones that can turn mortals into vampires. There are very few left, but they are still around.

Regular vampires are the ones everybody knows about. They are the ones that feast on blood the most.

Mayu turned to face her class. "Now that we know a litle about them, does anybody know how to ward them off?" she asked her class again

[Vanessa Chang]

Vanessa started taking notes quickly, deciding to give someone else a chance to answer.

[Headmistress Mayu Sohma]

Mayu sighed gently. "Anybody?" she asked her class and waited for an answer.

[Vicky Granger]

Vicky scribbled down notes madly. How to ward off vampires...... Hmm... She thought and thought until she remebered she had heard this somewhere before. She raised her hand and said" To ward off vampires, you insert steel or iron needles into a corpse's heart and placed bits of steel in the mouth, over the eyes, ears and between the fingers at the time of burial. They also placed hawthorn in the corpse's sock or drove a hawthorn stake through the legs. Further measures included driving stakes into the grave, pouring boiling water over it, decapitating the corpse, or burning it."Vicky said hoping she had gotten it correct.

[fennecas]

Jared listened to Vicky and he heard everything that she said but he had a different idea on how to ward off vampires. He raised his hand and waited patiently for the teacher to call on him so that he could say what he thought you had to do to ward off vampires.
