And you, Professor Flamsteed."

The Headmistress locked her laser blue eyes on him with a smirk. You know, she hadn't entirely read that list through to see which spells were the most dangerous. But she did have a good idea for her assistant now, and so she was going to roll with this idea. "One at a time, I would like those of you who said you were PROFICIENT at a spell to come up here and teach it to your peers. Professor Flamsteed is who you will demonstrate it on, if that is safe." The disarming and tap-dancing spells, for example, he should be able to show in action. "Otherwise, he will deflect or shield himself against the spell. So BE PREPARED should the unexpected happen."

That was how magic worked. "Now STICK TO THE LIST. Announce the wand movement, incantation, and expected outcome before you model the spell. This should be easy for your classmates to understand. If there are no further questions, let's begin."

OOC: So, there are nearly enough spells on here for each of you to pick one and demonstrate it to the class. PLEASE READ the posts of the people ahead of you, so that we are not repeating spells. You should feel free to demonstrate the spell your charrie volunteered, unless it's already been taken. In one post, introduce the spell, explain its incantation and wand movement, cast it, and then allow Flamsteed (sweetpinkpixie) a chance to reply! Don't RP the outcome of the spell but you can reply after Pixie does! Have fun! I won't be online for a while.

After copying down his notes, Austin raised his hand and waited to be called on. He remembered when he had used this spell on his dad one night. His mother had to stay late at the hospital, so his father was doing the dishes. Let's just say there were bubbles and broken plates everywhere. Again. Lucille Moore was not happy when she came home. There was more of a mess than when she had left, and his mother did not love having to come home from work, to do extra work.

Also, Ophelia Clarke only knew Expelliarmus? Well, she was a second year, so her knowledge of spells really wasn't that grand. But surely she knew more? No? Well, neither did Austin, which was a problem. Even though there wasn't much danger at Hogwarts (although the Headmistress would say otherwise) Austin still wanted to protect Ophie. Whether she wanted it or not. I guess I know what I'm doing over the summer. Homework

Once Austin was called on, he walked to the front, wand in his right hand. He was proud to show this spell since he knew it well. He would be embarrassed if he demonstrated to the whole class this spell, an choked. He knew the key to any spell was confidence, and that was what he had with this spell. "Hello everyone, I'm Austin Moore, a third year Ravenclaw." The headmistress didn't say they had to introduce themselves, but Austin felt it necessary. "The spell I'm going to present is 'Tarantallegra' or the 'Dancing Feet Spell'. The wand movement looks like a set of backwards eighth notes with bends underneath." He demonstrated in the air. "The incantation is ta-RON-ta-LEG-gra. With emphasis on the 'RON' and 'LEG'. The expected outcome is that your target will begin to dance in a crazy manner."

He turned to face the professor, and took a deep breath. Austin directed his wand at his 'target' and with the wand movement said "Tarantallegra!". He made sure to say it strongly, so his wand knew the spell.

Adi jotted down the list of stuff written on the board. "Hmm... I think I'll go with Impedimenta,'' he thought as he surveyed the list. Yep, it had been one he listed anyway.

With another twitch of his nose, the still fully awake Adi bounded to the front of the class. "Hello, everyone.'' Did he have their attention? DID HE? Yes? Okay. "I'll be demonstrating the Impediment Jinx. It is also called the Impediment Hex and what it does is slow down the person at whom it is targeted at though it can also cause your opponent to be levitated, immobilised or thrown backward." What a handy little jinx it was. It had proven to be just that whenever he used it in the Dueling Arena.

"Though it is a super useful jinx, there is a huge downside to it... or I think there is a huge downside, anyway. Its effect is temporary, it does not last as long as we would like. But despite that, it can be really useful in helping you against your opponents unless you're up against Lethifolds.'' Bummer. Adi vaguely wondered why that was so.

Anywaaaay. "The incantation is Impedimenta and the wand movement is simply moving your wand horizontally.'' He demonstrated without the use of the incantation. Alrightey. Now for Professor suits. The man was capable of defending himself, the Puffer knew, so he wasn't worried about him getting injured.

Concentrating as best as he could, Adi raised his wand again. "Impedimenta!'' Cue he horizontal wand movement! Turquoise light immediately shot from his wand towards the Gryffindor Head of House.

Then what would Gryffindor house do with Professor Romanos off to parts unknown? Then again, they were suppose to be proficient at these spells. If people didn't get overexcited and chose each other's spells, this could work out well. Then again, some of her classmates were jerks so......

Anyway, Heather chose one that know one else had said, or so she'd heard, anyway. Confundo. She stepped up to the front of the class and cleared her throat. To say she was nervous about this was an understatement. Because, yeah, professor's didn't typically ask them to stand up and demonstrate. Gulp.

And throat clearing again. "Um, yeah. So the spell I'm going to be showing you today is the Confundus Charm." Everyone got that? Notes being taken? She hoped so. And hopefully she wasn't stepping on Professor Quigley's toes either, since this was really his subject. "If done correctly, this spell will cause your opponent to become confused, befuddled and this confusion could cause the person to become prone to following instructions without thought. So it's not something to be used lightly." Seriously folks, not unless it was a matter of life or death. Or pranking, because that would be kind of funny.

"Okay, the wand movement for this spell is to move your wand in a hook motion," which Heather demonstrated here, "like so. The incantion is 'Confundo'. That's con-FUN-doh." And here came the part she was most nervous about. Using the spell on Professor Flamsteed. "So......Professor Flamsteed if you're ready......." Gulp.

Heather took a deep breath and aimed. "Confundo!" Perfect hook motion. MEEP.

She raised her wand. "The wand movement is a simple vertical slash motion like so..." Cilla moved her wand in a quick vertical slash. "The incantation is 'Protego' which is pronounced 'pro-TAY-goh'."

Cilla then turned to face Professor Flamsteed and inhaled. She performed the wand movement she had just taught her fellow students as she said "Protego!" Hopefully, it would protect her against any spells that Flamsteed cast at her.

He might do it to the side or maybe on a piece of a board because he loves casting Diffindo. Now he needed to preform it in front of the class? Welp let's do this. He got up from his seat and went next.

He waved to the whole class and gulped. He hated public speaking. "Hi I am Kace Lecium...as some of you may know...and I will be performing the severing charm Diffindo. I am not going to do it on Professor Airey obviously because it would cause him pain. I am going to do it on this desk here..." he pointed to it near him and away from other students. "Don't worry headmistress I will repair it after.." he assured her. He got his wand at the ready and performed the charm with his wand movement of a down and up and a little flick on the end and said, "DIFFINDO!"

Then he saw the desk crack right in front of him. Huhh....success! He grinned to himself and wondered what the headmistress thought.

He was really gonna cop it in this lesson, wasn't he, having to shield OR let all these spells hit him? Toby didn't want to make the guy's life more difficult or anything, so he was tempted to try and sit this one out, but as an older student it felt right that he should be one of the volunteers or something. And by the way, he was side-eyeing Soph for her own choice of spell. Always with the tickling.

He scanned the list of spells in his notes, eventually deciding on one that seemed like the best fit. He offered himself up for a volunteer and then went up to the front when it was his turn.

"Uh, okay, so... I'm gonna cast Duro, the Hardening Charm," he said to the room at large. "The wand movement is this sort of... upward line, and then a curve back down-" he paused to demonstrate "-almost like you're writing the letter D, but quite finishing it. The incantation is Duro, of course, and what it does is turns the target into stone." Toby glanced briefly at Flamsteed, then the Headmistress, then the class again. "Okay," he said, more to himself than anyone else.

He turned to Airey and held up his wand, looking him up and down, chewing on his lip in indecision. Now would be a really bad time to have one of those fire mishaps, because he wasn't sure if it was a spell that would be shielded.

"Duro!" Toby cast suddenly, pointing his wand at Airey's shoes and doing that incomplete letter D wand movement. He focused HARD on on trying to just turn the shoes to stone, and not Airey's actual feet. He tried, at least. It would be cool if he managed to get the floor too, and sort of trap him in place, feet melded to floor. Even if he didn't this method would stop or at least slow someone in their tracks. Difficult to charge at people or prance around in a duel if you were weighed down by stone shoes. If anything, it was a distraction.

Speaking of distractions, Toby tried not to let his focus wander. He made sure to be prepared, as Truebridge had said.

Getting his hat stolen in his first year, which he STILL didn't have back. Then getting ATTACKED at the professor's door FOR NOTHING and later being HUMILIATED at the dueling arena. Yeah...revenge.

He got up from his seat and walked to the front to be one of the volunteers. "So if you don't know who i am by now, you have a serious problem" so no introduction from him. "The spell i'll be demonstrating is Glacius which is a freezing charm" he said as he grabbed his phoenix feather wand. "This spell can be used to freeze objects or water" obviously "But it can also be used as both an offensive and defensive spell, offensive in the way that the person hit will be freezing cold and it probably hurts...a lot" he grinned at the last part "And defensive if you want to buy some time to get away" As much as he disliked Professor's he kinda liked standing up here. "The wand movement is simply pointing your wand at your target" with a fast motion he had pointed his wand at his Head of House, his eyes twinkling with joy. Was he going to freak out like the Headmistress had done in the Chamber of Secrets? Probably not, but the fact that he could USE magic on a Professor and NOT risk detention was amazing and he was loving it. "I'll be demonstrating the spell on the floor..." LIAR

He pointed his wand at the man's feet and he wasn't even going to ask if the professor was ready, no hint was given at all. Then, when he was ready, he suddenly pointed the wand higher "Glacius!" Blue light flew towards his chest instead of the ground.

Muwahahaha!
