One would of never expected for two members of the esteemed Hogwarts staff from different disciplines to be leading a group of students to challenge themselves in learning how to love muggle technology, poetry and paraphernalia yet it was the exact thing that caused Rafe Lauren & Roxanna to be meeting at this very point in time.

It was interesting really, the two had formed a connection purely out coincidence after engaging in some leisure conversation in the’-staff room. Through their conversation did Rafe happened to be dragged into a situation where while other members of staff would have been sent them packing with their tails between their legs. Rafe? No, he embraced it.

Finding out about this little study group being led by students was concerning. Not because they were practising the dark arts but more so because learning the Dark Arts under no proper guidance could be disastrous. It’s not often you find a group of students invested in learning such a questionable and controversial branch of Magic in a magical institution that doesn’t really give the light of day for such types of magic.

There was an opportunity here. An opportunity to lead a group of students to discover their learning, their calling some may say, toward the Dark Arts. Rafe & Roxanne had seen an opportunity here to not only provided a safe learning environment for the students but also provide mentoring about dark magic. Rafe, being quite skilled in the Dark Arts and a variety of subjects branches and Roxanne the school leader able to provide support to ensure a safe environment to learn it all.

The time had come to have their first proper meeting. Naturally, the Headmistress would have never approved of such types of learning to be conducted at Hogwarts. Rafe, being the Muggle Studies Professor, had decided to give it a pseudonym of being a Muggle Appreciation Club. He had even gone as far as ensuring that Muggle studies context items were placed sporadically but timely in a specific part to ensure that should someone enter they would see Muggle paraphernalia scatter across the room.

Upon entering the third floor empty classroom, he had drew out his wand and began with setting up a variety of enchantments, protection spells and disillusionment charms to ensure that only those specified on a list, hidden deep in his brain and memory bank would be allowed to enter and hear the full scope of what they were doing here. A good 20 minutes had passed and his enchantments, protective barriers and protection spells had all been set.

Running through the list of members in his mind, Rafe was both surprised at some of the names that took on leadership roles with the group and the members associated with them. While Rafe had no intentions on commandeering the group, he did want to provide support, guidance and establish a reasoning to what they were doing, a purpose some may say.

He knew deep down that even Gio would be quite pleased to know that during his time at Hogwarts he had somewhat taken on a leadership role in such activities and would aid in creating the new generation of potential supporters while giving the students the opportunity to learn Dark Magic in a safe environment.

Now, he waited for the members to arrive as he took a seat in a corner and pulled out a book from his side bag. An enchanted book of its own, Rafe had managed to create this item during his time at the Ministry of Magic. A spell book that held all his spells he had ever created in the past. The book had been enchanted so that only his wand pressed up against it, would reveal the spells placed inside of it. To anyone else, it was just a blank notebook.

He knew that there was going to be questions, concerns, suggestions and possibly distrust. Rafe had no intention of taking full custody of the group but more so,  to offer assistance where he could as well as. Guide them on the right path of learning dark magic and provide a safe learning environment with not one but two experienced adults around.
