Dark Arts Classroom

[Alecto Carrow]

She rolled her eyes as the boy completely missed her point and risked "Maybe you're not ready yet. Run along Mr. Nott and play."

Alecto made a brushing motion with her hand as if dismissing the boy. She'd find another student with potential.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna couldn't help herself, she really couldn't, and her head turned as Alecto drew Theo deeper into the classroom. The exchange had been short. Too short in her opinion, and their voices too low for her to hear anything. She wished she could lip-read. Her head turned back to Amycus when Alecto made the dismissive motion and lifted her eyes to look straight at him.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Hush up pet, Daddy's busy," Amycus, cut off Theo's puppy like response with a curt growl, his eyes remaining on the little redheaded invader, ignoring as his sister drew the boy off to leave him to deal with the new brat in peace. Seemingly however, the focus was not returned. Honestly he had to wonder how stupid and masochist this silly bint was.

Either way she needed a lesson in respect.

A loud crack sounded through the room as the Death Eater flicked his wand lazily, a lash of magic rippling out to lick over her face as she turned back towards him, the blow landing like a whip to her face, leaving a painful red wheel over her pale skin.

[Theo Nott]

Theo turned at the sound of the crack and watched as the spell hit Leanna. He winced but didnt say anything in response simply watching and waiting. He knew he had said something wrong for Alecto to dismiss him so abruptly but he wasnt certain exactly what that was.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna heard the crack a moment before the spell whipped across her face. Her breath caught in her throat, a soft moan of pain leaving her, and her hand came up to cover her cheek. She closed her eyes hiding the tears that had gathered there, threatening to spill over. Her bottom lip wobbled for a second, sobs threatening to spill from her but she took a deep breath through her nose and stood straight.

She opened her eyes slowly, blinking twice to clear away the last of the tears and dropped her hand from her cheek. "My apologies." she muttered. "I should have been paying attention."

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto chuckled softly and smiled at her brother, her gaze flicked to Nott. Maybe eventually, but for now he wasn't bright enough for the task she had at hand.

[Amycus Carrow]

With another lazy flick of his wand, Amycus wrapped a tendril of solidified air around her thoat, just hard enough to apply a little pressure without actually choking her as he dragged her forwards a few steps, closer to where he lounged.

"Yes you should have," the man lilted, a dangerus smile curving on his lips. "You've been very rude, little witch... I don't like rude... How do you think I should punish you for that hmm?"

[Theo Nott]

Theo watched as one of his classmates was pulled forward by magic. The spell intrigued him, and he was certain that if he attempted anything at the moment it would see him joining her. He settled on a wait and see approach.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna took the steps the spell around her throat urged her to take. Her fingers twitched, wanting to wrap around her neck and try to detangle the invisible and probably untouchable cord from around her neck. She swallowed, feeling nauseous. "It is your right to punish me however you think is best." she answered. "I am sure that whatever punishment I suggest would be knocked back and something much more efficient will come from you."

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus's smile grew, eyes flashing viciously as he twisted his hand, the spell around her throat tightening as he did so.

"And yet I'm asking," he insisted, tone lightsome. "So I suggest you obey and answer, however inadequately before I really loose my temper."

[Leanna Barker]

Her hand flew up, scratching her neck by accident as she tried to free herself from the non-existent cord strangling her. Leanna's eyes widened, staring at the man, trying to hold her fear back from her eyes, trying not to beg him. She struggled to bring in a breath. "Cru... Crucio..." she whispered, not wanting to croak if she could help it.

[Theo Nott]

Theo watched on in fascination. He hadn't seen this spell before and the ease with which Amycus used it was amazing.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Better," the man mused as he flicked his gaze over her, lifting his wand to pull her to her tip toes, still not letting her down. "Uninventive, but it is such a delicious option. I usually prefer to work up to it however..."

"Nott," he called to the other student lazily as he glanced over, dark eyes settling on the boy expression wicked. "You wanted to impress, nows your chance. How would you discipline your little friend over here?"

[Theo Nott]

Theo looked over to Amycus and his eyes widened slightly at being asked. A thoughtful look came over his face, and he took a moment before answering. "Continue to deprive her of air, almost to the point of blacking out. Followed by an Imperious to have her cast some cutting or possibly bludgeoning curses at herself, in specifically painful places, followed by a taste of the Cruciatus Curse." he answered.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus's eyebrow arched up at the response, a smirk curling on his lips as he gave another idle flick of his wand to drop Leanna to the floor.

"Well now... not bad Nott, a little inexperienced, but I'll give you extra points for enthusiasm. Tell me, sweet-child, do you know how to cast any of those spells?"

[Theo Nott]

Theo nodded. "I can not cast the Cruciatus, nor the suffocation spell that you just used." he answered. "But my father did teach me the Imperious curse, that was the Unforgivable he had mastered, and thought that I would get the most use out of it."

[Amycus Carrow]

"Show me," came the order, tone almost bored for all his eyes remained locked on the boy before him, long fingered hand idly gesturing to the girl at his feet.

[Theo Nott]

Theo drew his wand and pointed it at Leanna. Taking a deep breath and steeling his resolve he flicked it slightly and cast. "Imperio." once the spell was cast he gave the order for her to stand.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy entered the classroom as quietly as possible, taking a seat and watching Theo cast a spell at some girl she didn't even notice around in school.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna slumped to the ground for those few precious seconds, fingernails digging into her palm. Then came the comand to get to her feet. She didn't want to, she really didn't, but she did because the voice in her head was being very convincing. Her eyes were closed, she didn't want to see anything, just stand there, that was all that was being asked, just to stand. Her breathing was heavy and painful but she kept drawjng air into her lungs, that was important.

[Theo Nott]

Theo smiled inwardly, the spell had been a success. Take two steps back and keep your head down. he sent her the mental command through the Imperious.

[Leanna Barker]

She did as she was asked, taking two quick little half steps backwards before stopping, her head still down. The voice was quiet again but she couldn't think, everything was fuzzy and dull around the edges. Her hands relaxed, fingernails removing themselves from her palms and her eyes half opened, slowly, just staring at the floor beneath her feet.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus was aware of the girl entering the class but he ignored her for the moment, instead focusing on Nott and his skills, practiced gaze running over both the boy's form and the Raven that was his puppet assessingly.

"Anyone can make someone walk," he drawled tone bored. "*show* me your mastery over her. Make her do something she would never choose to do herself."

[Theo Nott]

"Approach and touch the male Professor, caress his cheek like you are attempting to seduce him. The ordered her, hoping that that would be something that would please Amycus, at least to some degree.

[Leanna Barker]

Touch the professor, the voice was telling her now, approach and touch him, stroke his cheek, be seductive. Leanna's eyes fluttered for a moment and just for a second she looked straight at Theo. Her feet carried her forward to stand in front of Amycus, peeking up at him under her lashes, though her eyes still remained curiously blank. Did she really want to touch him? Of course she did, the voice insisted, just reach up and touch his cheek, but gently! Slowly, her hand lifted, fingertips brushing a loose strand of hair back from his face then running down his cheek slowly. The touch didn't stop at his jaw, but continued down the side of his neck to his chest, slowly brushing over the material of his shirt.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus tilted hiis head, dark eyes narrowing as he watched the redhead approach, neither looking concerned or at all inclined to move as she approached him, instead simply watching, expression much like a man watching a particularly interesting bug. A passing fancy easily crushed. Then again, that really was how he considered most of the students, and those weere the ones he liked, so perhaps it was not so surprising after all.

Finally however the side of his mouth kicked up, eyes lingering on the girl as she slid her hand down his chest in open flirtation before they snapped to the Slythern boy, a low sinsiter chuckle sounding in his throat.

"Not bad precious thing," he mused, meeting and holding the other's gaze before he arched up an eyebrow, Leanna ignored as her small hand lingered on him. "Not *impressive* but not bad... though I can't quite decide whether to be amused, or annoyed by your presumption..."

Oh he was amused, that he was quite aware of as his glittering orbs waited for a reaction, but where would the fun be in telling him that? Far better to watch him squirm. Really, what else was there to do with students?

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna's hand lingered on his chest, the voice in her head silent now that she had completed its command. Amycus' chest was warm under her hand and it felt nice, or as nice as it could with her mind still off woth the fairies. Her fingers twitched a little and then relaxed, her palm lying flat on his chest.

[Theo Nott]

Theo glanced at Amycus and winced slightly at the rebuke. It was a bit of a stretch to presume that it was acceptable to send a student after a teacher like that but..

Meeting the man's gaze Theo was unable to determine if he was amused, or if he was upset with him. He had no idea what to say or do in this situation, and it made him nervous.

[Amycus Carrow]

He watched the boy sweat, the girl still ignored as she continued to rest her small palm against his chest. The Death Eater's smile curved up higher at his clear discomfort.

"You wanted to punish her, didn't you dear child?" he asked Theo, tone dangerously pleasant. "I'll give you the chance to sway my reaction to your presumption... IF you can impress me..."

(FYI make sure she's not still touching him when you cast so that there's no transfer, or he *will* lose it... Amycus is not against pain but it gets him overexcited... and no one wants that...)

[Theo Nott]

Theo nodded and looked away. His mind raced at what he could do to impress the professor. Thinking back to his original statement of punishment Theo looked up and over to Leanna. Step away from the professor, remove your outer robes. Draw your wand slowly, Cast two powerful cutting spells, one on your thigh and the other across your abdomen.

His eyes never left Leanna as he gave the orders.
