Also, Ella had been talking about Shield Charms in History of Magic during the discussion about the Hogwarts Express. Speaking of that, Ella had a question. "Professor, we discussed the Hogwarts Express in History of Magic and I was wondering if the train used this particular charm to ensure that it could move back and forth safely through any type of weather." It would make sense, considering that Gambol had used all kinds of magic to prepare the train for transport.

He went to the chair nearest to him, combed his hair with his hand for a bit, and was now able to take out a quill and parchment. Professor Bellaire also used her wand to bring some clouds onto the ceiling, as to make the room a little bit cool. Emil was glad for that.
Professor Bellaire asked about the charm Protego and like all magic spells, Emil was clearly puzzled what it's for. He has an inkling that it's for "protection", as they do sound similar. Professor Bellaire also introduced the phrase Protego Caelum, and she mentioned that Caelum means weather. To Emil, he thought the professor was mispronouncing coelom, which refers to the body cavity. Emil couldn't help but chuckle a bit with that thought in his mind.
Emil also couldn't help but connect all the lessons in his mind. They were learning about making clothes in Transfiguration, and talking about the snow storm that stopped the Hogwarts Express 30 years ago in History of Magic. Now they're gonna learn how to protect their clothes against weather in Charms. Everything seems connected somehow ... he thought. Hopefully we're not gonna be put in a winter prison by something. I wouldn't mind cold weather, I just don't like sitting indoors. If they let us ski or skate or something, then I'd be fine if that happens here in Hogwarts.
Emil was just curious about something, because he's starting to remember what his mother told her in a story. Apparently, Protego is a pretty advanced charm. He remembered his mom telling him that the boy, Harry Potter, didn't learn the spell until he was a fourth year. So he raised his hand, "Professor, will those us in the first years be able to successfully cast this spell?"

That is always a plus. Maybe it even protected you from sunburn. He would love to not have to sunblock on and only use a spell.
"Professor, does this spell protect you from sunburn?"
Nigel also wondered what would happen if a hurricane and appeared and you used this spell. Would it protect you from the rain and not the wind.
She could tell that some of the students were busy doing other things or just spacing out. Some of the questions asked had already been answered but she was trying this whole being patient thing.
First question.
"I can't say I'm one hundred percent sure whether or not the Hogwarts express uses the charm but the next time you see Professor knuckle-head Scabior."
Who was next?
Blink..
"Like I said earlier we will be looking at a relatively simple variation of the Protego spell. It's not as complicated as you are made to believe." By whomever.
And another question that already had an answer.
"Yes if performed correctly the charm should be able to protect you from extreme weather conditions." Quote:

Running as fast as she can, Nessie raced ahead to where the Charms classroom was. She reached the door and panted, now out of breathe. She stood still for a few seconds and then hoping for the best she opened the door to see that class had fully started.
This was FAAAAAAR from good. Renesmee looked at the Profesor and then looked at the classroom, taking in the very different surroundings. It was almost like a sea, very tropical and it looked pleasant. She turned her attention to where the students were sitting. Would the Professor noticed if she sneaked quietly to her seat without saying anything..probably.
Doomed she was.
"Um..I was in the bathroom. Sorry, Professor." she said going bright, bright red. At least she wasn't lying. She looked at the ground and just kept on praying the Professor wouldn't kill her.
Ummm No.
Professor Bellaire turned to fix the young Hufflepuff with a death glare.
"Hold it right there Miss Dixon. I should take away points and throw you in detention, especially with a sorry excuse about being in the bathroom. Stay right there." She would make an example of her.

"Professor what type of weather conditions can it protect you from?" Belle was curious about that. She was feeling relaxed around her surroundings in the charms classroom.
"That question was already answered, please pay attention." She frowned slightly then looked to the next person who had their hand up.

So she finally just sat back and listened to the discussion around her, all the while coming up with questions only to have them asked before she could say anything.
Then finally, when there was a break in the conversation, her hand shot into the air. "What about objects or general locations? Does the charm protect those, too?" she asked. "Say...a hurricane was coming in. Could we cast this on buildings or landmarks to keep them from blowing over?"
"As was mentioned miss Greingoth, the spell can be used to cover a wider area, so yes the charm would be able to protect the objects or locations but we're not focusing on the more powerful form of this spell at the moment."
Right, she hoped everyone had taken those notes down because she was ready to get to the practical part of the lesson.
"Everyone please take out your cloaks and rain boots. We're just about ready to commence with the practical part of the lesson." She moved over to another thatch hut and pulled out her own cloak and boots.
"There is a trunk here, if you do not want to get your book bags and valuables wet put them in the trunk. We'll begin when everyone is ready."
