++++++++++ [ `H` ] +++++++++++ [ `H`] ++++++++++


[ Why are you the best fit candidate for this job? ]

I think I am best fit for several reasons. To begin, I guess we can start with my roleplaying abilities and my constant roleplaying, as well as experience here in `H`. For one, I absolutely adore to roleplay here. I think it's very fun, because I get to involve myself in a lot of diverse scenes. This, as a professor, will aid me a lot to come up with storylines, as well as a lot of assorted classes and different teaching methods when I hold classes, as well as will always improve my teaching abilities and always keep the students of `H` entertained. I don't wish to brag, but I'd like to say that I have some mad roleplaying abilities. When it comes to roleplaying, I make sure that I am very descriptive, as well as fairly quick, so that the students don't have to wait forever while I type a long line during a class. I think that having roleplaying skills like this is fairly important because it shows that a member has experience.

Being here at `H` for nearly two years now has given me the ability to know the forum well, as well as have enough ability to know how to roleplay around, and basically, know the forums and the roleplay inside-out. This means that I can aid students all the time if they need help, and being here for a large quantity of time has made me also get to know people, so I am known around `H`, and it is easy for us to interact, so it won't be awkward, although as a professor, I will encourage all of my students to get to know me as the Defense Against The Dark Arts professor of `H`. Also, with roleplaying, I will encourage students in the Grand Staircase to get more active, instead of sitting around AFK or doing nothing. Unlike most teachers who will actually threaten students to get IC, I'll create very elaborate and different scenes that have to do with DADA that will inspire anyone who is interested in scening to step forth and show their roleplaying skills, in which will highly get the Grand Staircase more moving with action and scenes.

Another aspect in which I would like to cover in my application is my knowledge on the subject. Because I have already became a Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, and was well liked by most students, as well as great on the subject and known to teach classes well, I think that I will prove to be a great teacher. I know that this time, now that I have already have my "pre-DADA teaching" days, I will be able to improve now, and much unlike before, be able to elaborate on my ideas in class and get a lot of the students involved. I think that being knowledgeable on the subject you teach is very important, because students need to understand in class and what the subjects are about, so that they actually learn from the classes. I think that this is very important, because members of `H` shouldn't always be sitting in classes and taking notes, I think that they should always be acting in the class and doing things so that the knowledge sinks in. Doing this will result as better teachings, so that members will not only get to learn the subject better, but if they wish to take in DADA after their IC characters graduate, this will grant them the chance to do it, because they will have all the knowledge from my classes stored in their minds.

To conclude in which why I think that I could be the best head of the department of Defense Against The Dark Arts, I think that I am a very student-friendly person. Now this is a very, very important aspect of being a teacher, because if you aren't liked by many students, then it will be hard for you to teach, and for them to learn if they dislike you or dislike coming to your classes. Now for one, I am fairly liked all around the forum by my peers, and many members know me. I tend to be fairly friendly and fair with everyone, meaning that I enjoy talking to them. This means that I am very social, and I am easy to get along and talk with. This proves to be yet another good quality when becoming a professor, because it proves that students are able to come up to me with any questions they need without hesitation, in case some are nervous. I encourage most students to ask questions, even if they have the slightest doubt on an aspect of my class. I'd also like to add that I am very active on Habbo, meaning that every day I am logged on every day, from a period of four or more hours. I believe that being a professor means that you have to be known around the community, so I am always on, trying to meet new people so they will all know who the Defense Against The Dark Arts professor is.

[ What would you do to benefit the roleplay with this job? ]

To benefit `H`ogwarts with this job, I would do several things and activities to make sure that the students are always satisfied with the department of Defense Against The Dark Arts and make sure that it would never go down hill, and always remain active. To commence, I would ALWAYS hold 4 classes a week, at the bare minimum. I think that having this is very important, and as the Head of Department of DADA, I think that it is even MORE important for this position to host as many classes as possible, so that the subject gets tossed around a lot and so that the IC students learn very much from this subject. I promise that I will always make my classes interesting and full of information and facts, and make sure to always get kids involved in the lesson, so they don't always sit there AFK or simply bored out of their minds. I will make sure that they are always getting plenty of time to roleplay so that their Habbos don't idle in the class, and make sure that they will always want to return to my classes and scene again every time they walk into the classroom. This means that I will hold a lot of classes constantly, if not one every day if I get a chance, so that I could expand the DADA subject all across `H` so that students get to learn the subject well, and if they wish to apply for a DADA spot in the future, they will be able to.

Also, I think that creating storylines between the department is very important. As the Head of Department of Defense Against The Dark Arts, I will make sure to advocate storylines between the department and the people in it, as well as to be able to get all of the students involved in it. I want to make the Defense Against The Dark Arts department as strong as it can be, and by doing this, I need to pick it up, shake it up with new roleplaying ideas, classes, storylines, and really wake it up! I want people to be able to look back towards when I was once the Head of Department and say, "wow, I really miss Olivia as the head of department". I want people to remember me and all of the fun ideas and storylines that I will be shortly coming up with if I get accepted, so that I can truly get this part of the forum moving up and make it stronger than it ever was before. I want to also make sure that the IC members of `H` get involved with these storylines so that they can get involved. By holding these storylines, I will support `H` with many assorted scenes that will pick members off their butts in the Grand Staircase or in the Great Hall and get them down to wherever so we can all have a big scene.

If I get chosen to become the head of the department of Defense Against The Dark Arts, I will always be watching the current professor's jobs to create scenes and make sure that they do a good job. Why? Because I believe in making Defense Against The Dark Arts a very strong subject at `H` so that everyone will get to learn what is about. By doing this I will talk to the other professors to improve the department, and go over their teaching skills. I want to show them different ideas and different teaching methods that will get their classes going so that everyone enjoys their classes! I'm going to survey their acts on teaching and be around students, and do my best to be a friend to the other professors, as well as get to know them and survey their teaching methods and skills. By doing this, I think that I will be able to take in what they are exceeding at and what they lack, and this will help and show me how to teach them better, so that essentially, the Defense Against The Dark Arts becomes an incredibly strong department at `H`.

Oh, but I have more. I think that not only classes and storylines is enough. Events are something that I would like to encourage and put into action. Maybe have a Defense Against The Dark Arts picnic, or a barbecue, a meeting, a get-together, anything that will inspire members of `H` to join and encourage their Defense Against The Dark Arts knowledge as well as to boost in to their full potential. Not only will this aid them with becoming better at the subject, it will get them to interact with the people at `H`, so that they themselves could get to learn who is who and essentially meet assorted people and make friends. This will help everyone get to know each other, so during my classes, people will be fairly familiar with each other. Finally, I will make sure that I get everyone's reports in on time, and be fairly strict about sending my own report in. I will make sure that no one misses a single one, and try to encourage them to assemble their reports a few days before so that this doesn't reflect on their personality or attitude as lazy. I'm going to make sure that all of the professors are excellent and friendly, and are always ready to teach.

[ What would this job mean to you? What do you think this job does? ]

Well, to be obvious with this, this means absolutely a ton. Defense Against The Dark Arts has always been the subject I have excelled the most in, essentially meaning that I have always been the best in this subject. For a long time I thought that teaching wasn't cut out for me, so I tried a bunch of different places. At first I wanted to be a Charms Professor, but shortly, I learned that it just wasn't my thing, as well as being a Quibbler Writer. So I tried them both again, but I just didn't enjoy them. When I finally saw that Defense Against The Dark Arts was open, I was absolutely rejoiced. It had always been the subject that I had most commonly wanted to go into after I spent several months with my characters and developing their storylines and roles. Once I applied and was accepted, it was absolutely excellent. It was the best teaching experience that I ever had. I found the topic to be easy for me to teach, and this proved to be correct when I taught my classes, because all of the students were able to absorb the information fairly quickly, leaving them excited to come to another one of my classes.

So in conclusion, this absolutely means a ton to me. I really want this super badly. Since I had joined, I had always had the best passion for Defense Against The Dark Arts. It stood out like no other course. I was getting O's on top of O's, and would always make sure that my homework was handed in at every single class, and believed that one day I would make a fabulous Defense Against The Dark Arts professor, in which I did when I applied. Now that there are no other professor spots open, and I feel the need to take charge of the subject that I have loved for so long, I think that it is time for me to step up and take charge of the subject that I have loved for so long, and cherished to me so much. I think it is time for a new head of department to start making the Defense Against The Dark Arts Department better to everyone; the students, the staff, the members. And I think that this person should be me.

To conclude with what this job does, it is simple to say that like any other professor, you must be able to teach. This means you have to be knowledgeable on the subject, and must always be able to answer even the most difficult questions about any single tricky detail that has to revolve around Defense Against The Dark Arts, in which I think that I am good and able to do this. Like I had mentioned before, being the head of the department means that you should educate more than the average professor, and be even more knowledgeable on the subject, which I am to say the least. As the head of a department, you must always be able to interact with students, much with hosting IC events which will pick characters up their butts and get them into action, as well as storylines that will encourage absolutely everyone to begin to roleplay their characters more often and develop a better liking and understanding to Defense Against The Dark Arts. Also, a head of department must be able to collect all of the reports from the other two professors every single week, advert the organizationer of the Staff List if someone from the department is on leave, and finally send in their own report which is composed with all of the other professor's reports in them. Not only must they do the following, but they must be able to organize the department and put it to good use, whip it back into shape, and make sure that everything is alright, as well as mentor the professors and make sure that they do well and are able to teach properly and make students enjoy going to their classes.

[ Please include a lesson plan, for 1 lesson minimum. Also include a brief list of topics you would cover. This is optional. ]

- Ivanna Mihailov would march down into the Grand Staircase, staring about.
- stiffling her hand down into her coat pocket, she would poke around for her wand.
- finding it, she would grip it softly into her hand here.
- then pulling it out from her pocket with ease, swiftly moving it into the air.
- she would bring it up, planting the tip of her wand at her throat, aiming.
Ivanna: Sonorus!
- this would slide down into her throat here, causing her voice to become louder.
- clearing her throat loudly, she would look back to the Grand Staircase, speaking clearly and loud.
Ivanna: Students, please follow me [or add me and stalk] to Defense Against The Dark Arts Class!
Ivanna: Students, Defense Against The Dark Arts Class!
Ivanna: Please come to Defense Against The Dark Arts, class on Dementors. Thank you!
- after doing this, Ivanna would reaim her wand back at her throat now.
Ivanna: Quietus.
- this would hit her throat, causing her voice to go back to normality.
- she would look to the students crowding around her, a soft smile coming onto her face.
Ivanna: Please, line up in back of me, and follow me to the DADA classroom!
- turning around, she would seem to move up the stairs, heading towards the classroom.
- leading the line of students down the hall here, moving hastily.
- she would move down into the classroom with ease, leading the kids in.
- moving over towards her seat, she would gesture for them to sit.
- them sitting down on the chair, she would wait for all to get seated.
Ivanna: Would anyone like to take the roll before we begin?
- she would look around at all the students softly, eyeing them with a smile.
Gryffindor Boy: I would!
- a bunch of students would raise their hands, up towards the sky.
Ivanna: Yes, Mr. Horendus.
Ivanna: [ Please include their username, house and year, and optional IC name. Send it to me on the wiki via Olivia. Without the period. ]
- after waiting for the boy to end taking the roll, she would smile, standing up from her seat.
Ivanna: Welcome, welcome, all to Defense Against The Dark Arts!
I am your teacher, Ivanna Mihailov, but please do call me Professor Mihailov.
Now to begin, we will be commencing the lesson by learning on Dementor for this lesson.
Does anyone know what this creature is?
- she would look around the class, seeing all of the hands shooting up.
- pointing towards the Ravenclaw girl in the corner, with a smile.
Ivanna: Yes, you.
Ravenclaw Girl: A Dementor is dark creature that is capped in long ragged cloth, which suck out the happiness of people.
Ivanna: Correct!
A Dementor is a creature with a human like body, meaning a head, hands and arms, cloaked in black robes.
Wizards are unsure if Dementors have faces, because they hide under large hoods, in which no one dares to take off.
We are sure that they have large black holes in their mouthes, in which they use to feed off of happiness.
They are covered in scratchy-like scabbed skin, that reflects slight silver, but is mainly gray.
Moving onto Ministry-related information on this creature, can anyone tell me its Ministry rating?
- no one would seem to raise their hands up, so she would smile.
Ivanna: The Ministry rating of a Dementor is XXXXX, meaning it is impossible to domesticate or breed this creature.
This also means that it is INCREDIBLY dangerous, and also is known to kill countless of wizards upon contact.
Now, does anyone know where they are found?
- a smaller Slytherin boy would shoot his hand up first.
- Ivanna would smile, pointing to him in the corner.
Slytherin Boy: They are from Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Australia, basically everywhere in the word.
Ivanna: Correct! And fun fact, it is said that there might also be a civilization of them living in Antarctica, so yes, they are indeed everywhere.
Now we are moving on to the real stuff here; protecting yourself from a Dementor.
To start, does anyone know the incantation?
- Ivanna would pick the small Hufflepuff girl sitting in the corner of the class.
Hufflepuff Girl: Yes, it's the Patronus Charm.
Ivanna: Well, that is the charm, but the incantation to the charm is Expecto Patronum.
Now, please take out your wands, and hold them directly towards the floor please.
- they would do as they say, taking their time to take their wands out.
Ivanna: Now, to preform this spell, it is incredibly difficult. Not all will get it on their first time.
But, don't be discouraged. With practice comes results. So, to begin, let me show you what you must do.
- Ivanna would raise her wand towards the air, fluently speaking the incantation.
Ivanna: Expecto Patronum!
- this would up into the empty space of the classroom, conjuring a polar bear.
- the polar bear would growl, jumping across the classroom eagerly.
- with a dismissive wave of her wand, the polar bear would evaporate into the air.
- the class would remain speechless, staring around with awed expressions.
Slytherin Girl: Wow, you're amazing!
Ivanna: Thank you. Now you give it a try!
- with a smile, they would seem to take out their wands, casting the spell.
- most of the time, only a small orb of blue light would form at their wands, then disappear.
- after around five minutes of conjuring this, Ivanna would clap her hands together.
Ivanna: Now, class. Please put away your wands. We'll cover some basic things about the Dementor before you are dismissed.
Now, one thing you should know about the Dementor is that they use their mouths to suck the happiness, hope and and peace out of everything surrounding them.
This makes them feel suddenly depressed and cold, like there is no way out of depression.
When they come in contact with a human or living being, they strive to preform something called the Dementor's Kiss.
Using their "mouths" they will attach theirs onto yours, and suck the soul out of you.
This will not kill you, but instead, turn you into basically, a zombie. You will lose all emotions and ability.
- Ivanna would clap her hands together, a small smile on her lips.
Ivanna: Okay, that's the end of the class. Before you're dismissed, are there any questions?
- the students would shake their heads abruptly, gathering their things.
Ivanna: Okay, homework will be posted shortly, please keep your heads up!
[ Remember to send it in to Olivia before 24 hours is up or it's an auto T. ]
Okay, class dismissed!
- the students would file out of the class, and Ivanna would sit there until they all leave.
