Kyle nodded, "Okay I'll take my cue from you then." The words had finished leaving his mouth and the bell rang just as Professor Snape walked into the classroom. Silence filled the room with the Professor's appearance.

"We'll be discussing the most basic forms of protection in this class. There are two parts to magic offensive and defensive." Professor Snape went on to explain two important basic spells. The Red sparks and Green sparks spells and how they could be applicable for both offensive and defensive situations. "For homework, practice these spells. Preferably outside, do not point it at each other." Professor Snape's voice at this warning seemed bored. "I also expect a twelve inch essay on the differences between offensive and defensive magic, don't list spells, explain how they are different." The bell rang dismissing the class.

Kyle gathered his stuff, and waited for Siobhan's cue.
