”Attention, please! We are going to start the practical portion of our class soon, so please pay attention. You will be dealing with nifflers, which can be nasty little animals. You must know that nifflers love gold and shiny trinkets, so here is your challenge.” She moved behind the desk, opened drawer, and pulled out a pink velvet bag from it. ”Inside this bag there are small shiny objects which will attract the nifflers,” which was why she wasn’t repealing them yet. ”Each one of you will work with one niffler and give it the shiny object. Once you attempt to retrieve it, the niffler will protest, so be careful! They can bite! What we are going to learn is to ease the retrieval of the item using the Befriending Charm. This charm will allow you to retrieve the charm from the niffler or even have the niffler offer it to you, depending on its potency. The Befriending Charm is a Heterogenous-Storge Entrancing Enchantment that only works on small animals, such as nifflers, owls, kneazle, and dogs. It will put the animal into a trance of trust, causing it not to fear the caster.

“Once you have cast the spell, you must pet the niffler! Petting or hugging an animal after casting the Befriending Charm helps strengthen its effect. Got it? You must take the item, hold it tightly in your hand, and present it to the niffler. A befriended niffler will not scratch your hand or bite you to take the item back, but otherwise it can. “
She swished her wand and the information appeared on the board.

Instructions
1. Take a shiny object from me the use it to lead one of the nifflers back to your desk.
2. Give the niffler the object and try to retrieve carefully, just to see its reaction.
3. Cast the Befriending Charm on the niffler and pet it.
4. Retrieve the item, hold it tightly in your hand and present it to the niffler.

Then she turned around and addressed the class again. ”Now, before we begin, you must learn the Befriending Charm. Wands out and ready!” She clapped and waited for them to follow her instruction. ”The incantation is Malin Calin.” She paused and repeated the incantation again, very clearly. MAH-len CAH-len. Repeat it with me, MAH-len CAH-len. Good, good. The Wand movement is a quick circle motion, and a flick at the end.” She demonstrated. Malin, She said performing a circle with her wand, Calin, she flicked it. "If performed correctly, a purple smoke will emit from your wand and surround the niffler." She turned to the board once again and made the instruction to the spell appear.

The Befriending Charm
Incantation: Malin Calin
Wand Movement: Circle and flick

”Now, come up and take an object, then approach the niffler, show it the object, and lead it back to your seat. Practice, practice, practice!”


OOC: For this practical portion of the class you must have five good posts to receive full credit. At least three of those posts must be practicing the spell, whether your character fails at first, or he/she just wants to practice on air a few times. Nifflers might growl or even scratch your character, but this will not kill your character, so don’t be a Poppy, or a drama queen.

There will be a second practical portion to this class, and once that begins you can't go back and complete this one. You will have 48 hours to complete this, until Thursday 4AM PST / Thursday 11AM GMT.

Poppy is still here if you need help or have questions. You may work in pairs, if you want to.


"I don't see what's so funny." So, she shouldn't be giggling, okay? It was RUDE.

Ellie's attention turned to WWW and the...NIFFLERS!

D'awww.

It took much effort to keep her attention on PPP when there were NIFFLERS around. But she had her wand out and practiced the incantation along with PPP. Malin Calin. MAH-len CAH-len. Circle, flick. Got it.

The redhead twirled her wand in her fingers. Could she just summon over the Niffler and the shiny? So she didn't have to be too near PPP?

Probably not.

As soon as they were allowed, Ellie jumped up, quickly got a bag of shiny from PPP, cautiously, too, so she couldn't catch the PINK. Then bent over a friendly-enough looking Niffler, took out a shiny, and led it back to her seat with Emrys.

Carefully, she a hand underneath it, and raised it onto the table. It curled its toes in the process, digging its nails into her hand. But to Ellie, this was minor and not even worth flinching over. She dropped the shiny onto the table, so the Niffler would release her and gave it a moment, just so it can be happy with its accomplishment of FINALLY obtaining the shiny.

Then she swept in, using just her middle and index finger to pry the shiny away. To no avail, unsurprisingly. Aslan was the same way, no? And Ellie's spent enough time around her to know that she doesn't like her coins being taken away.

So Ellie raised her wand again, and directed it at the Niffler, "Malin," circle, "Calin," flick.
