 User Name: D i R T i E de-TALES
Teacher name: Johnathan Aaron Yelsah
House: Hufflepuff
Year: 2nd year Transfiguration teacher/Head of Hufflepuff
Age: Twenty-two
Description: Blood status = Pureblood
Wand = Thirteen and three-quarters, mahogony, dragon heartstring
History: Johnathan (a.k.a. John) was born in a very strict asian family. His mother is a witch, his father is a wizard. John was put into the magic world even during his months in the womb. He had his times in the womb when he had to taste the awful potions his mother drank for him to take in. But it was all for preparation for when it was time for him to live in this life. And that was why, when he was born, he was able to levitate his blankie an inch from the ground. His mother was proud. His father, seeing as his son couldn't do anything that he could do when he was all grown up, wanted John to get a career in the police force for the Ministry. So his parents wanted him to be an Auror. For the first ten years of his life, John practiced with his mother and his grandfather at learning magic. The simple spells of course. Nothing too dangerous for innocent little John to handle.
By the time John got his letter, he was already a whole year ahead of his classmates. But of course, he didn't want to go ahead of his classmates and go a year ahead of them. He just stuck it out. John's years, however exciting they were, were very stressing. Not only was he dealing with advanced classes during his fifth year, he had been going from one relationship to the next in an instant. By the time he was in his sixth year, John had given up on relationships and decided to live a single life, deal with school for the time being. When he was done with Hogwarts would be the time he would think about getting himself into a committed relationship. Unfortunately that was not the case for John.
Right after finishing Hogwarts, John had signed up at the Ministry for Auror training. Like in Hogwarts, John found himself ahead of his partners and finished his his training years a year and a half earlier than the rest of his class. So at nineteen, John was out in the field with the rest of the professional Aurors. His Auror days were ones he will never forget. Even though he was badly hurt during some assignments, John loved ever minute of his job. And then he heard the one thing that frightened him to death. Hogwarts was secretly invaded by Lord Voldemort. Instantly, John had asked his boss if he could be one of the Aurors assigned to watch after Hogwarts. The reason for his begging? His cousin, Angel, is a student at Hogwarts. He needed to look after her.
During his assignment at Hogwarts, John was to be inside the field. Meaning he had to be a student again. With the help of Polyjuice Potion and the hair of a muggle boy from London, John remained undercover for while looking after Angel. Soon, the Dark Lord was defeated. And after that one experience, John knew that it was time to take a break. So during the summer, John went to Professor Daskin, the new Headmaster, and asked for a position as a teacher. Luckily for John, he got a position as a teacher for his favorite subject, Transfiguration. He was also given the position as Head of Hufflepuff, his house during his years of Hogwarts. Now that he was taking a break from his Auror career, he could teach his favorite subject while watching over his cousin. With how rebellious that girl was becoming now, John was going to make sure he kept his full eyes on her at all times. Especially when she's with that boyfriend of hers.
Speaking of his cousin, on the first day of summer vacation, John brought Angel to the Ministry of Magic to get her memory erased of all the horrible things she saw during her fifth year. The horrible things meaning the death images she sees of all the people she knows. His cousin is a death Seer. With her memory erased of all memory of the three deaths that she saw, John is hoping that Angel will not have these images ever again, at least not during her sixth year and seventh year at Hogwarts. He hopes that the memory erasing will give Angel a peaceful year at Hogwarts.
Personality: John doesn't take bull from anyone. He has a hot temper and does not minf blowing off steam in front of everyone. He does not care to pull out his wand and curse someone. John has this hard barrier around him that makes him hard to get along with. If you're a relative or a close friend, those are the only people he will soften up to. Now that he is a teacher, the guy is not going to take any bull from his students. He has strict rules and he wants them followed no matter what. Now that he is a full time teacher, and a full time chaperone for his cousin, it will be hard to see him with a smile unless it was a smirk. So in other words, don't get on his bad side or you'll be sorry. He has no time to play around anymore.
Pet: John has a female snowy owl he named Remy. She has a white ribbon tied around her leg with a small bell attached to the end. A little something Angel and his sister decided to do for Remy even when he disapproved of it. But now, he loved the little jingle Remy had with her whenever she flies towards him or Angel.
Position: Head of Hufflepuff and Transfiguration teacher
Other: John is slightly blind on his left eye, the cause was from an assignment during his early years as an Auror in the Ministry.

I have a few rules in my class that will be followed no matter what house or what year you're in.
Behavior
Absolutely no speaking unless you are told to. I have good hearing people, I've been in the Auror business for years and my hearing is enhanced to a very high level. And I may be slightly blind on my left eye, but I will be able to see which one of you students is breaking my rules. Now on to other business, like speaking, I will not allow any wand movement in my class while I am teaching. Unless I give you permission to, I would like all of you not to take out your wand. If I see just the tip of your wand, it will be confiscated for the whole day and you will have two days worth of detention. I am teaching you things that you will use in the real world ladies and gentlemen. I have no time for horse play in my class. That is why I do not believe in a warning policy. Out in the real world, there are no warnings, it's either you deal with the punishment, or pay the consequence for being defiant. I am not here to babysit you for a whole period. That is not my job. So I expect my rules to be followed. And don't think that rebelling against my rules is going to solve anything. It's your own decision to be here. If you want to fail my class, then fine, fail it. I am only here to teach the students that want to learn. If you want to be a smart a** and try to do stupid stuff in my class, get out now. But remember that this is a required class, especially for when you are looking for a job as an Auror or a Healer. You pay attention in my class, and you pass it, I can already see a bright future for you.
Also, like I said about the warning policy, I also don't have a second chance policy. So think very hard about what you do to get yourself kicked out of my class. Once you're out of my class and my role sheet, you're out for good. I will not take second chances. One mistake that leads you to getting out of my class and it's game over for you. I will take you back however, when you can persuade me to take you back. But I'm a hard man to persuade, and don't you dare go to the Headmaster for help. He is a busy man and does not need to likes of you drop outs in his way of his job.
Homework and Tests
I'm very strict on homework and expect them to be turned in on time. Extra credit will be given to those students who turn their assignments before the deadline. All assignments turned in late will be burned into dust right in front of your eyes. I will not tolerate late work at all. I give at least one or two essays a week, but the main thing I would like all of you students to do as homework is review what you have learned in the whole week. Every Friday, whether I am sick or absent for another reason, I will give out a test. Yes ladies and gentlemen, a test. Not a quiz. Thirty questions (not multiple-choice) about what you have learned that week. And then two physical excercises to show me if you were really paying attention. Also, before I forget, if you have not completed a homework assignment and want to turn it in on time, come straight to tutoring and you have until curfew to finish your assignment and turn it in. After curfew, I will not accept it.
Tutoring
I only give out tutoring during eighth period only. Any other time will not work for me. If you are free to come during eighth period, come in and sit at a desk. I will be walking around to come and assist anyone that needs help. But my same rules apply to tutoring. No wand movements unless you have my permission.
Detention
I have a very big thing for detention ladies and gentlemen. Break any of my rules, even if it's a little break, you'll be given detention. And I'm not going to go easy on you, even if you're first years. I am not one to give out lines for you to copy. That doesn't do anything. I'm not into torturing either. That's pointless and tacky for teachers to do. But I will have individual assignments for you to do, and they will not be easy.
Tardies and Absences
If you are absent or tardy during my class, it is your responsibility to get the assignments and the lessons that were taught that day. I will not review or remind any students of any homework assignments that were given the day after. You must learn to fend for yourself ladies and gentlemen. Live your own life. I am not here to mommy you. Also, when you return from your absence, I would like a note from either your Head of House or the nurse. Never ever ask the Headmaster, unless your reason for being absent was because you had a meeting with him. I want this note to be handwritten from the teacher and not from your handwriting. If you are in my house, please come to my office either with an excuse from the nurse or your reason for being absent from my class. It is the same for tardies, the only way you can get out of being punished is with a note from either the nurse or your Head of House. No note, one point will be taken away from your house for every minute you're late. And you will also get detention.
These are my rules ladies and gentlemen. I expect them to be followed. If they are broken in any way, it will lead you to a detention or getting kicked out of my class.

My classes are all top notch classes, meaning that even in the basic level you'll be taught in an advanced level. Think of it like an Honors class or an Advanced Placement class for muggle students. The classes below are the only classes I teach, nothing more.
Transfiguration Level I : : For first year students only. All first years that have failed this level should both be ashamed of themselves and will also be told to take this class the next school year.
Transfiguration Level II :: For second and third year students that have passed Level I. If you fail this class, you must take it over in your next year or you can come during tutoring hours to make up the credits. Level II, Part I will be taught during the second year. Level II, Part II will be taught during the third year.
Transfiguration Level III :: For forth and fifth year students only. All those who have failed this class will either take it over the next year or during tutoring hours to make up those credits. Level III, Part I will be taught during the forth year. Level III, Part II will be taught during the fifth year.
Transfiguration Level IV :: For sixth year students only. Students who have failed this class will have to take it during their seventh year and their seventh year only.
Advanced Transfiguration :: This is not a required class, but I will give it to seventh years only who have passed Level IV. And I shall also hold monthly Saturday classes for this class, where you learn the most advanced spells and work with them. This is for students who can follow directions and will not fool around.
Remember, my classes are all advanced classes. I will not expect slacking off during my class.

Just because this is a required class, doesn't mean you are officially in. The first thing you must do is fill out the form below to officially be signed into the class. Once you have filled in that form, send it through pm with the title "Transfiguration Sign In Form" with a completely filled out form. In this form, I expect complete sentence and not crappy four letter sentences. My classes are more advanced than that. If you can not make a full and complete sentence, then go back to second grade.[size=10][b]Name, House, and Year[/b] :: Self-explanatory, but I still want it in a complete sentence.
[b]Reason you want to be in my class[/b] :: I do not want "Because it's a required class" If you the only reason why you want to be in my class is because it's required, then don't waste my time if you're not going to enjoy it.[/size] The way you'll know if you are approved into my class is if your reply message says "Approved" as the reply. Don't b***h if I say "Denied." It means there is something wrong with your form and that you need to fix it before sending it back to me in a fresh pm.

~Richard S. Sanders~
Ricky bolted into the classroom slamming the door open. "Professor, Professor Yelsah, come quick, it's Angel. She was screaming and covering her ears. She was just acting really funny and then she kind of passed out. Well I think she passed out, she's on the floor. Professor Wixom and Professor Travis are with her now but Travis sent me for you." Ricky said this all in one breath. He had just run half the castle but he stood strait and spoke clear as he explained. He was very thankful for his quidditch training right now.

{ johnathan ● α α я σ и ● yelsah }  The instant there was a disruption in his classroom, John's head was up in annoyance. His first years were currently taking reading notes silently so he had asked for no noise. His eye remained on Richard, listening intently to what he said. But as soon as he mentioned Angel and her acting strangely, his heart quickened in a panic. Not again. he thought as he bolted out of his chair and to the door. "Follow me, Sanders," he said right after he ordered all his first years to remain quiet. He was out the door in seconds.

Ricky felt bad for scaring the 1st years but right now he knew Angel needed help. "Yes sir." He said as he followed the professor out the door. He couldn't help but hope that Angel was alright and that he knew how to help her. He didn't like seeing anyone in that situation and he wasn't even sure what it was. All he wanted was to make sure Angel was alright and get her the help needed.

~Mary Lou Austin~
Mary Lou walked in and took a seat near the back. She had overheard something about this teacher going to the ministry and wondered vaugely if he would be back in time to start class. Shrugging she put her bag underneath her and put her head down just waiting.

 Stephanie walked into Astronomy still thinking about how scared Kathryn had been. The girl was talking to her future mother and probably the nicest teacher in school and yet bawling like she was going to be killed. The girl must have been through some awful stuff to be crying like that for Professor Yomomato. Stephanie didn't even bother to acknowledge Mary Lou for fear it would lead to something. Instead she just walked on past taking a seat in the middle and saving a seat for Kathryn and Andy.

{ johnathan ● α α я σ и ● yelsah } With the luck he had, John was about to come back to Hogwarts in time for third period with his third years. The door slammed open as he marched into the room, his shoes tapping against the floor with each step he took. "Everybody get up and do not dare think about taking a seat on one of these desks! Failure to follow these simple directions will have you kicked out of my class immediately!" he said sternly to his students as he pulled out his wand and gave it a flick. The chalkboard at the front turned so that the blank side was now facing the back and the side with writing was facing the students. The board said:The Instructions Before you take your seats, bring your summer assignment to my desk and then write your name on the sign-in sheet. Once you have done that you will stand at the wall and wait for further instructions.
Note:: Failure to do any of these simple instructions will result in you being kicked out of my class.

Mary Lou jumped slightly when the Professor entered. He seemed quite different than when he had been speaking to Professor Wixom. Yeah she had seen Stephanie wince back when she saw he was there and had to explain she had been in a fight but Mary Lou hadn't thought much about it. Mary Lou rose leaving her bag in the desk she had chosen and walked up to his desk. "Um.... sir, I don't exactly have the summer assignment finished. You owled it to me upon my transferring to Hogwarts but with everything going on I didn't get it completed."

Hikari heard the door slam to John's classroom and she had been down the hall with Kathryn. Wincing, she sighed. She wondered what had gotten him so mad. She knew that his behavior would be making Kathryn nervous though, so she gently rubbed her daughter's shoulder as they walked. However, they werer soon at John's classroom, and with a quick knock, Hikari walked into the classroom. "Sorry Professor Yelsah. I had to keep Kathryn for a little bit. I wanted to talk to her. I hope that's alright." She said quietly as she looked at her husband to be. He was tense. She could tell...She was getting worried..What had happened at the Ministry?
