Arya seemed to be a deep thinker, and she had a point. To an extent.

"Everyone needs help occasionally, Arya, even muggles. They can't all help themselves, especially in some situations - the ladder and roof for instance." Probably a lame example, but she wanted to use one a child had already said. "If we can use magic to assist, even if it's just a little bit because it was the easier option, wouldn't you want to?"

Isabelle smiled at the girl, hoping that she could see from her view why they were doing this lesson. She knew muggles weren't completely helpless, but being helpful wasn't a bad thing. "And I think maybe Human Transfiguration is a bit much for the first lesson of term, but it is a good idea. Thank you."
-----------------------------------------------------
"Thank you for all the votes, it would appear that the majority of you have chosen the compass spell. A useful one for those that don't want to constantly use Point Me! And want something more permanent." Muggles for instance. And the kids did seem to think they got lost alot, so why not learn this? Plus the fact you could use it then keep your wand free for other things. Anyway, moving on.

Walking to the table behind her desk, Isabelle took a deep breath and picked up one of the many boxes. "In here I have a range of watches - wrist ones, pockets ones, big, small. I'll pass them out to you all then we can concentrate on getting the incantation correct, along with the wand movement." Placing the box down on her desk, Issy lazily flicked her wand and watch after watch made it's way to a students desk. "Once you have had a chance to get the feel of your watch, you can try the proper pronunciation of the spell. WITHOUT wands first." She emphasised that bit. Didn't wand them to blow something up because they didn't do the right wand movement.

"Alright everyone. The incantation for this spell, as you can see on the board, is Comletia, and it is pronounced thus: Com-LET-e-AH. Have a go at getting that right, then we'll move to wands."

He honestly didn't realize the Professor had spoken to him until she said his name. It brought his eyes up for a brief moment to glance at her through his blurred vision as he tried to get a handle on what she had said. Instead of answering vocally, he simply gave a quick nod of his head and shifted forward, unfolding his arms and resting one elbow on the table to prop his head in his hand. The other went to absently scratching lines at the top corner of his parchment. His jaw tightened at the Professor's answer to Arya's question, at the reasoning that if it made things 'easier' then it was good. He couldn't conclude that was exactly what was meant, but he knew some students would take it that way, and easier things were hardly better in the long run.

It helped a little, to focus his attention on the scratch of his quill against the paper and the voting that went on for the next few minutes. When the watches were distributed and his came to rest in front of him, he simply stared at it for a long moment. His mind was numb as he stared at the irony before him. They had chosen an object to bluntly represent time and change it to direction, when everything about the statue depended upon, in the past and the present, time and direction. While it was hardly intentional, it was nonetheless prominent.

Placing his quill beside his parchment, he picked up the watch in his free hand and ran his thumb lightly over the glass, feeling the quiet vibrations as the second hand ticked in much the same way his quill had. "Comletia..." The word came out quiet as he frowned at the device. It was called being prepared.
