Merlin! The Lambert girl had taken a plunge to the ground just outside the greenhouses sometime earlier, causing Lexi to nearly be late for her very first Charms lesson of the year! Perfect, Carlton. Way to nearly not make a good first impression. She hurried down the hallway, high heels click-clacking all the way, and came to a stop just in front of the classroom door. She hadn't had time to change into any cowgirl attire---yet, but she could always do that later in the lesson.

She had, however, freshly highlighted her hair, which meant that her signature pink streaks were back...and that made her pretty happy indeed. She opened the door and strolled casually into class, giving her students a pleasant expression as she did so.

...and why was the door to the supply closet open, hmm? She guessed he'd left it like that when she'd been rummaging around for extra cowboy hats a few hours earlier. Yes, Carlton kept cowboy hats in her closet. Random other things, too, as she used them to practice a wide assortment of charms she'd likely one day use in class. She raised her wand and silently casted a spell that slammed the closet door shut. There now. All looked in order and ready to go.

Oh, and look at that! Conrad and Farley even showed up wearing pink! A couple of others, too! She casted all of them an extra wide smile, then...oh---Bristol had fairy wings! She thought about asking those students if she could borrow their attire later on in the class, but...ahh, she'd stick to the ordinary costumes stored away in the room.

"Well, welcome to the first Charms lesson of the year. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Professor Carlton, obviously the Charms professor. Go ahead and take a seat, so we can get started," she said. She placed her handbag in an area just behind her desk then turned back to the students, pausing for just a moment to allow them time to settle down and get ready to learn.

"Mmkay, what can you tell me about the Hover Charm, hmm?" she asked, glancing around the room. "I realize this is a basic charm, but we often times use basic charms, put new spins on them, and come up with something completely out of the ordinary." Which was she planned for them to do today. "...but what's the basic information I need to know in order to cast this charm...this is especially helpful information for our first years."
