[Oshenukhar]

”Welcome students, I am professor Gris-Ocre, I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this term. I am from The United states of America where I attended the Salem Witches Institute. I am muggle-born, my father and mother being muggles, hence I was raised in a muggle household, but I had wizard brother and understand defense very well. A little more about me when I was at the Salem Witches Institute I was the President of the Glee Club, Prefect, and Head Girl, I am aware that there are those amongst us that have, are, or will be a prefect or head student, that will not deter me from grading everyone equally and fairly.This year there will be three levels to D.A.D.A. Beginning (years 1-3) Intermediate (Years 4-6) and advanced (year 7). Each level will have three lessons and one essay and a final at the end of the term. I do expect proper wand handling in my class, and I must stress that you must never use the spell on fellow students, I will be using the practice dummies that were so gracefully purchased by Professor Flips.”

SEE ABOVE FOR THE FINAL ASSIGNMENT

. : { Previous Lessons & Assignments } : .

Level 1
Lesson 1:
Welcome 1-3 years we will begin with learning what Defense Against the dark Arts is. Defense is defined as a way to protect oneself in combat. The Dark Arts, also known as Dark magic, refers to any type of magic that is mainly used to cause harm. The Dark Arts encompass many spells and actions ranging from using the Unforgivable Curses to hatching Basilisks, and its practice is generally illegal. Practitioners are referred to as Dark wizards or witches, the most prominent and powerful of whom was Lord Voldemort. His followers, known as Death Eaters, also practiced the Dark Arts.

Assignment 1
Read Level 1 Lesson 1 and complete the questions
1. Tell me what defense is in your own words.
2. What are the Darks Arts also known as?
3. What are the followers of Lord Voldermort Called?

Lesson 2:
Welcome back students now we are going to work on the first three spells I expect each and every student to know and use. Each of these spells will come in handy when using defensive magic.
1. Expelliarmus (Disarming Spell)
Pronunciation: ex-pel-ee-AR-mus
Description: This spell is used to disarm another wizard, typically by causing the victim's wand to fly out of reach. It can also throw the target backwards when enough power is put into it. As demonstrated in 1994, simultaneous use of this spell by multiple witches or wizards on a single person can throw the wizard back with much greater force.
Etymology: Possibly a combined form of the Latin expello, "expel", and arma, "weapons" or "tools"; thus, "expel the weapon". Expellamus means "let us expel".

2. Stupefy (Stunning Spell)
Pronunciation: STOO-puh-fye
Description: Stuns victim. If used too forcefully, it will put the victim in an unconscious state.
Etymology: English stupefy, which means 'to put into a stupor', a temporary vegetative state.
Notes: The physical manifestation of the spell is a beam of red light emanating from the caster's wand. The spell wears off after a short time, and can be countered by Rennervate. Nearly useless on magic-resistant creatures such as dragons, trolls and giants unless more than one Stupefy spell is used at the same time. The force of the spell is additive or perhaps even exponential, and it can cause severe injury if many spells are used on a target that is not normally resistant to its effects. A half-giant, is impervious to this spell - or at least, a lone one.

3. Episkey
Pronunciation: eh-PIS-key
Description: Used to heal relatively minor injuries.
Etymology: The word comes from the Greek "episkeui" which means "repair".
Notes: This spell could belong to a family (or variety) of Healing Spells, in the same way a species of plants belongs to a larger genus.

Answer the questions and CAST Each spell TWICE Successfully.
1. What is the Etymology for the Episkey Spell?
2. What is the effect of the Stupify Spell?
3. What is the spell to disarm someone?


Essay Lesson:
Boggarts
A boggart is a shape-shifting creature that takes on the form of the viewer's worst fear. When facing a boggart, it is best to have someone else along, to try to confuse it. Because of their shape-shifting ability, no one knows what a boggart looks like when it is alone, as it instantly changes when you first see it.
The charm that combats a boggart is Riddikulus. The charm requires a strong mind and good concentration. The incantation and wand movement alone will not affect a boggart. The correct way to perform the charm is to push past the fear, and concentrate on something that will make the boggart look amusing. The charm does not, in fact, repel a Boggart; it just forces it to assume a shape that the caster will find comical, inspiring laughter, which will defeat a boggart.
Boggarts sometimes do not have the same strength or magic as what they imitate, for example, a Boggart transformed into a Dementor has weaker magic than a real Dementor.

The average witch or wizard may come in contact with a Boggart in their life. Boggarts are particularly fond of inhabiting certain places that are dark, such as in wardrobes, the gap beneath beds, and the cupboards under sinks and desks. On at least one occasion, a boggart was found hiding in a grandfather clock. We have a Boggart here in this cabinet for each of you to tackle.

Riddikulus(Boggart-Banishing Spell)
Pronunciation: rih-dih-KYU-lus
Description: A spell used when fighting a Boggart, "Riddikulus" forces the Boggart to take the appearance of an object the caster is focusing on. Best results can be achieved if the caster if focusing on something humorous, with the desire that laughter will weaken the Boggart.

What the practical for this lesson will be is to cast Riddikulus once successfully turning your Boggart into something funny.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Please ROLL (1) one (4) Four sided dice for this lesson and use this guide to see if you succeeded. you only need to cast the spell once successfully.
1: Failed casting.
2: Poor casting.
3: Average casting.
4: Perfect casting.

As I click open the cabinet door the first student will cast Riddikulus on the boggart in the form of their biggest fear, if the student is successful they may leave and begin the essay, if not they will get in the back of the line until they are successful.

Each student will state what the boggart’s form is and then Cast Riddikulus, on the boggart, and then state what the boggart transformed into in responce to a SUCCESSFULL CASTING

Essay:
Write 2 paragraphs total: one on why the boggart took the form it did for you. The second one on how your boggart was tackled. Please be descriptive in your essays.

You can find more information on Boggarts by following this link: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Boggart

Lesson 3:
The Curse of the Bogies (Mucus ad Nauseam) is a curse that gives the recipient a strong cold, that can make him collapse if not treated.
Incantation: Mucus ad Nauseam
Description: Probably causes monsters to appear randomly and/or attack the target.

The Knockback Jinx is a spell which can be used to 'knock back' an opponent, blast jars and creatures or activate magically charmed switches. The incantation of this spell is Flipendo. It is considered to be a most basic spell and is described as 'utilitarian'. Chapter One in The Standard Book of Spells Grade 1 and 2 are both descriptions of how to cast and use this jinx. It can easily be deflected by a simple Shield or Disarming Charm.
Pronunciation: FLIP-pen-do
Description: The Knock-Back Jinx, used to push the target. If used repeatedly, it may bring down weaker enemies.

Lumos is a charm that causes the tip of the caster's wand to light up. Evidently the light has some heat to it, because Alastor Moody used the light to burn paper. Its counter-spell is Nox. It is taught in first year charms classes. Lumos is found in the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2.
Pronunciation: LOO-mos
Description: Creates a narrow beam of light that shines from the wand's tip, like a torch.

Cast the Spells learned in this lesson once successfully. and answer the following questions.
1. What does flipendo do?
2. What is the spell used to light the way?
3. What does the Curse of the Bogie do?
4. Would you cast Filpendo to open a window why or why not?
5. What is the Counter Spell to the spell that Lights the way?

Level 2
Lesson 1
Welcome 4-6 years We will review what the level 1 students have completed and then work on newer harder material please remember that you are intermediate students and I would like you to be on time and ready to do magic and use proper wand handling in my class. Also 5th years this is your O.W.L.S year and if you need more assistance please ask the older students or myself for help. Let's begin with the first lesson.
Stupefy (Stunning Spell)
Pronunciation: STOO-puh-fye
Description: Stuns victim. If used too forcefully, it will put the victim in an unconscious state.
Etymology: English stupefy, which means 'to put into a stupor', a temporary vegetative state.
Notes: The physical manifestation of the spell is a beam of red light emanating from the caster's wand. The spell wears off after a short time, and can be countered by Rennervate. Nearly useless on magic-resistant creatures such as dragons, trolls and giants unless more than one Stupefy spell is used at the same time. The force of the spell is additive or perhaps even exponential, and it can cause severe injury if many spells are used on a target that is not normally resistant to its effects. Hagrid, as a half-giant, is impervious to this spell - or at least, a lone one.

Expelliarmus (Disarming Spell)
Pronunciation: ex-pel-ee-AR-mus
Description: This spell is used to disarm another wizard, typically by causing the victim's wand to fly out of reach. It can also throw the target backwards when enough power is put into it. As demonstrated in 1994, simultaneous use of this spell by multiple witches or wizards on a single person can throw the wizard back with much greater force.
Etymology: Possibly a combined form of the Latin expello, "expel", and arma, "weapons" or "tools"; thus, "expel the weapon". Expellamus means "let us expel".

Anapneo
Pronunciation: ah-NAP-nee-oh
Description: Clears the target's airway, if blocked.
Etymology: From the Greek verb anapneo, "I breathe in". Compare apnea. Anapneo and Episkey are the first spells obviously derived from Greek.

Lesson 2
Now that we know a few basic spells lets take on a few other more complicated spells.

1. Confundo (Confundus Charm)
Pronunciation: con-FUN-doh
Description: Causes the victim to become confused and befuddled.
Etymology: The word "confundus" appears to be derived from the Latin confundere, meaning "to confuse; to perplex", whereas confundo means "I confuse". Similarly, it may also derive from the english word "confound".

Essay Lesson:
Werewolves
A werewolf is a human who, upon the rising of the full moon, turns into a fearsome near-wolf. Werewolves can be distinguished from regular wolves by several small distinguishing characteristics, such as the pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail. At all other times, they appear as normal humans, though will often seem to be ill as the full moon approaches. This condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, usually occurring when a human is bitten by a transformed werewolf. There is no known cure, but the effects can be lessened with the Wolfsbane Potion. The Wolfsbane Potion is an innovative and complex potion that relieves, but does not cure, the symptoms of lycanthropy. The main ingredient is wolfsbane (also referred to as aconite or monkshood). It was invented by Damocles in the recent past, most likely after the mid-1970s, as it was not available to Remus Lupin in his youth.

Werewolf bites can be fatal, or can lead to life as a werewolf. The practical for this lesson is to administer Wolfsbane potion to a mock werewolf properly and then write the essay,

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please ROLL (1) one (4) Four sided dice for this lesson and use this guide to see if you succeeded. you only need to treat the administer the potion once successfully.
1: Made pain worse.
2: Bad treatment.
3: Average treatment pain is lessened to manageable.
4: Perfect treatment, mock werewolf has no pain.

Essay: Write 2 paragraphs total one on recognizing a werewolf, the other on the Wolfsbane potion’s history and effects. Each student will be given a mock werewolf to treat, which must be turned in with your essay.

You can find more information on Werewolves by following this link: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Werewolf

You can find more on the Wolfsbane potion by following this link: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfsbane_Potion

Lesson 3:
A Sneakoscope is a type of Dark Detector that looks like a glass spinning top. It lights up, spins, and whistles if someone is doing something untrustworthy nearby. The Sneakoscope was invented in the eighteenth century by Edgar Stroulger.

A Secrecy Sensor is a type of Dark Detector. It is shaped like an aerial, but it is gold in colour and very squiggly. It vibrates when it detects concealment and lies. The Fake Alastor Moody had one in his office during the 1994–1995 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, it was no use to him at the school because it was constantly humming, as (supposedly) students were always nearby telling lies about why they had not completed their homework assignments. However, it is more likely the result of him masquerading as another.

A Foe-Glass is a type of Dark Detector. It looks like a mirror, but instead of a reflection it shows the enemies of its possessor. The figures appear as "shadows" but become clearer and more visible as the enemies get closer to the possessor. When you can see the whites of your enemies eyes the enemy is right behind you.
1. What is the Purrpose of a Foe Glass?
2. Why does a Sneakoscope whistle?
3. What does a Secrecy Sensor do?
4. Why did Professor Moody's Secrecy Sensor not work, NOT according to him?
5. Which of the three devices would you like to own and why?

Oh Please feel free to complete any of the assignments you see they can only help to prep you for N.E.W.T.S. This level will be the hardest one you should have in DADA and we will be learning more than just spells but curses and whats behind the spells and curses.

Let's begin with the first lesson.
Finite (Incantatem)
Pronunciation: fi-NEE-tay (in-can-TAH-tem)
Description: Negates spells or the effects of spells.
Etymology: Latin finire, "to finish": "finite" is the plural imperative form, so it translates to the command, "[all of you] end". Incantatem is apparently intended to recall "incantation"; the Latin verb form incantatum would mean "someone or something enspelled".

Assignment 1
Read Level 2 & 3 Lesson 1 Complete the questions; Then cast each spell learned, once sucessfully.
1. What is the etemology for the Spell Stupefy and where is it derived from?
2. Why would you use Stupefy, and what would it do?
3. What does Anepo do?
4. Describe the affects of Finite Incantatem.
5. What does the etymology for Anepo mean and where was it derived from?
6. What would be the spell to use to disdarm your opponent?

Lesson 2:
A Curse is a type of spell with the most negative effects. Curses are used with the intention of causing harm, control, or even death to the victim. Students of Defence Against the Dark Arts learn how to block them with defensive magic. A few curses that are well known are Serpensortia & Parlare Confuso.

Serpensortia
Pronunciation: ser-pen-SOR-shah, SER-pehn-SOR-tyah
Description: Conjures a serpent from the spellcaster's wand.
Etymology: Latin serpens meaning "a snake" and Latin ortis meaning "source".

Parlare Confuso (Babbling Curse)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: The Babbling Curse is not fully understood but it is presumed to cause a person to babble whenever they try to speak.
Etymology: In Italian Parlare is to talk, confuso means confuse, so the Babbling Curse is litterally called Confused Talk.

Answer the questions and CAST Each spell TWICE Successfully.
1. What is the definition of a curse?
2. What is the curse that would conjure a snake from ones wand and what is its etymology?
3. Why would one use Parlare Confuso on someone?
4. What is the etymology of Parlare Confuso?
5. Give an example of a curse.

Essay Lesson:
Dementors
A Dementor was a Dark creature, considered one of the foulest that inhabit the world. Dementors fed off human happiness, and thus caused depression and despair to any who were near them. They could also consume a person's soul, leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus were often referred to as soul-sucking fiends. The Ministry of Magic employed Dementors as the guardians of Azkaban until mid-1996, when Lord Voldemort was sighted in the Ministry, and their defection to his side was realized. The Dementors supposedly led the Death Eaters and Voldemort into the Ministry of Magic. After the end of the Second Wizarding War in 1998, the Ministry was reformed, and Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt ensured that they were not used by the government again
Dementors held no loyalty, except to whomever would provide them with the most people to feed off. They could not be destroyed, though their numbers could be limited if the conditions in which they multiply were reduced.

Expecto Patronum (Patronus Charm)
Pronunciation: ecks-PEK-toh pah-TRO-num
Description: The Patronus Charm is a defensive spell used to conjure an incarnation of the Witch's or Wizard's innermost positive emotions to act as a protector. It can also be used to send messages.

This is going to be a very hard lesson even for you seventh years, as stated the Dementor is one of the foulest that inhabit the world, your practical assignment is to ward off a Dementor, and then write an essay about what you felt when you encountered the Dementor. The ‘Dementor’ you will be using is not a real Dementor but a spell I created to cause the same effects that a Dementor does, and too look like one, the spell I used will not be revealed to you students the only thing I will tell you is that it is not easy and I would not allow you the chance to create such evil.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please ROLL (1) one (4) Four sided dice for this lesson and use this guide to see if you succeeded, you only need to cast the spell once successfully.
1: Failed casting.
2: Poor casting.
3: Average cast.
4: Perfect cast.

Essay:Your essay is to be two Paragraphs, in your essay please include what you felt when you encountered the Dementor and how you overcame the Dementor.

You can find more information on Dementors by following this link: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Dementor

Lesson 3:
The Unforgivable Curses are the three most powerful and sinister spells known to the wizarding world, and are tools of the Dark Arts. After the Wizards' Council was reformed into the Ministry of Magic tighter restrictions were placed on the use of certain kinds of magic. The Cruciatus Curse was deemed by the Ministry to be dark magic, and, along with the Imperius and Killing curses, were declared "unforgivable" in 1717. The use of any of these three curses on a fellow human being would result in a life sentence in Azkaban. Using any of these three curses on another human being carries a mandatory life term in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence that the caster did so under the influence of the Imperius Curse). Aurors were permitted to use them during the First Wizarding War. Under Lord Voldemort's regime in 1997-1998, the curses were made legal, though this was repealed following Voldemort's demise.

The Imperius Curse is one of the three Unforgivable Curses. When cast successfully, it places the victim completely under the caster's control, though a person with exceptional strength of will is capable of resisting it. This makes it unique among the unforgivable curses, as it is the only one of them with a known, reliable method of resistance (sacrificial protection does not count, as it protects against all spells from a certain witch or wizard, not the spell itself, regardless of who is casting it). Cursing another human with the Imperius Curse carries a punishment of a life sentence in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence that the caster did so under the influence of the Imperius Curse).

The Imperius Curse was invented during the early middle ages, by dark witches or wizards. The curse was created for coercion and brainwashing for slavery services. The victim of an Imperius Curse is placed in a calm, trance-like state in which all feeling of responsibility and anxiety is banished.If the Imperius Curse is performed poorly, then the victim would have their mind addled, an example being Muggle Junior Minister Herbert Chorley. It seems the damage is long-lasting, as Chorley was sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries to recuperate. Resisting the Imperius Curse is possible, but requires great strength of will and character.t is possible for someone who has been Imperiused to place others under the curse as well.

The Cruciatus Curse (also known as the Torture Curse[1]) is one of the three Unforgivable Curses of the wizarding world. It is a curse of torture, inflicting excruciating pain on a victim. This makes it popular among the Death Eaters for use on both fellow wizards and Muggles. Considering the fact that this curse doesn't physically harm the victim, it possibly stimulates pain receptors. Cursing another human with the Cruciatus Curse carries a punishment of a life sentence in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence that the caster did so under the influence of the Imperius Curse).

The two most well-known victims of this curse are the former Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom, who were tortured into insanity with it by Death Eaters Bellatrix, Rodolphus, Rabastan Lestrange, and Barty Crouch Jr. The pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse is said to be worse than "one thousand white-hot knives, boring into the skin." This pain can cause permanent mental injury, as in the case of the aforementioned Longbottoms, who spent the rest of their lives in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries because of the trauma the curse caused. Presumably, such permanent effects occur if the victim is exposed to a particularly intense curse for a long period of time. If the curse hits an inanimate object, it may cause it to shatter instead.


The Killing Curse is a curse that causes instantaneous death and is one of the three Unforgivable Curses, as well as being the worst one of the three. There is no known counter-curse or cure for it apart from someone else sacrificing him or herself for the targeted person; however, one may dodge the green bolt, use a physical barrier to block it, or intercept the bolt with another spell. An explosion or green fire may result if the spell hits something other than a living target. Cursing another human with the Killing Curse carries a punishment of a life sentence in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence that the caster did so under the influence of the Imperius Curse).
