Default Emily Browne's practical. 7th Year Ravenclaw
½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf

Emily entered the Charms classroom. It was seperated into two sections by the looks of it. The first side was set up like a normal classroom, examination papers on each desk. This settled Emily's stomach, she rather enjoyed theoretical exams. No doubt there would be a practical as well... she looked at the door that led to the next partitioned section of the room. Perhaps that was next?

Professor Descoteux was sitting down reading?... reading?... not paying attention to the students? was that normal Professor-Finals behaviour?
"Hi Professor", she greeted in a whisper.

Taking her seat promptly, she began work on her theoretical paper.

Once she was done, she set the quill down and turned her paper over... then taking a deep breath she got up and left the area- into the next portion of the final.

Upon entering the room Emily saw three work stations... there was a teacup?... a bucket suspended in the air?... bouncing balls?....an open box on the floor? and a lantern?.............
Taking her wand out of her pocket she approached a vacant station. There was a peice of parchment there with instructions on it. She read it thoroughly.

Step one: mould the teacup into a ball ans levitate it into the bucket...
Seemed easy enough, right?

Emily held her wand out in front of her, pointing at the teacup before her. Tracing a clockwise circle, then a counter-clockwise circle Emily pronounced the inantation.
"Mizurus Boru"......... the teacup orphed and twisted before her until it became perfectly spherical. She had succeeded... good start. Now to get it into the bucket.
After taking a deep breath she aimed her wand at the teacup ball, "Globa Leviosa!" she said... her ball began to levitate, using her wand Emily guided it steadily into the bucket suspended in the air. It landed with a small thud.

She wiped her brow- though there was no sweat, she was just grateful she had gotten through the first step.

Step two:two bouncing balls.... freeze one and banish the other.

Oh that was ok, she had been pracising those a fai bit. Smiling she held up her wand once more.
Aiming at one of the two bouncing balls, Emily gave two short flicks of her wand, "Immobulus", she said casting the freezing charm. Instantly the ball froze mid-bounce. It hung there in the air. Satisfied with how she was going Emily then turned her attention to the remaining ball.

Concentrating on the remaining ball- her eyes tracing its bouncing movement, carefully Emily aimed her wand.
"Depulso", she said casting the banishment charm on the bouncing ball. It stopped bouncing for a split second before it whizzed into the open box.

Task three: expand and reduce the light of the lantern, then make it appear invisibe.
No problem! thought Emily as she remembered the lesson they had in theForbidden Forest. It was a good lesson, one she wouldn't forget for some time.

Aiming her wand at the light of the lantern, she verbalised the incantation, "Luxra Magnifica", whilst simultaniously performing the wand movement. She drew a circle in the air with her wand tip, closely followed by two crosses. The light exploded from the lantern, stretching its rays out across the room. Sheilding her eyes from the blinding light, Emily reversed the spell by pointing at the lantern and saying, "Finite".
Instantly the light grew smaller, as if the lantern was sucking back inwards. Soon the room was back to its normal lightness.

One last little bit to go, thought Emily as she observed her lantern, focusing on its form. The disillusionment charm- to meake it blend in... like a charmeleon. Invisible to the eye, but still solid to the touch.
Tapping the latern with her wand she performed the incantation, "Disillusiona".
One second it was there... the next... it was still there she just couldn't see it. A big grin spread across her face. She had been successful. Her last time in a charms classroom and she was successful. It was always good to finish on a high note.

Placing her wand back in her pocket she gave Professor Descoteux a nod, "I'm finished Professor" she said. She was about to leave when she realised they hadn't actually been dismissed. Turning back she gave Professor Descoteux a quizical look, hopefully he understood what it meant.
