And those slackers could bet their bottoms on punishment if they were unable to complete the task that she had prepared for them.
She moved around the room steadying wrists and correcting pronunciations, she wanted perfection for Merlin's sake! Perfection!
When she was content she moved to the front of the class and spoke in an even mid-tone. No yelling for her, if they wanted to hear the instructions, they would shut up and listen to her.
"Alright, well done class, well done. I think for the most part you have the incantation and wand movement right. Now I have prepared a potentially fun activity for you today but as usual I want the class to split. First to third years on the right, forth to seventh on the left, quickly now." She gave them a minute to do what she instructed before moving on.
"Now everyone is going to partner up within your year groups. Younger students you and your partner are allowed one ball. You will be levitating this ball back and forth between each other. Now they are fairly light so it only takes a bit of concentration to get it right. It's almost like catch but using your wands. The first person levitates, the other catches and you switch, please be careful, no hitting each other with the balls....yet."
She turned to the older students. "You lot will be doing something a lot more complicated. You will be levitating each other, hence the cushions and carpet. I use the pillows for padding please and no horsing around. I will be watching you carefully. If you are unable to find a partner please let me know." Right well that was clear enough right?
"You may begin if you have no questions to ask of me."
Hearing the professor's voice, Sierra dropped her wand (aka her hand with a finger extended) and turned toward the professor. Oh, activity time. At least they'd get to actually perform the spell now. Well, not that she'd never cast Wingardium Leviosa, but it was just a welcome change than using her finger as a wand.
The younger students' activity seemed alright, but Sierra had dealt with floating balls for years in Quidditch. Finally, the directions were given for the older students' activity. Levitating one another? Sounded good enough, but...she just hoped she ended up with a good partner. If somebody dared to drop her, she promised to hex them to next Hogsmeade weekend and back.
"Any fifth years need a partner?" she asked, looking around.
OOC: Already partnered up with Touz OOC. Just making it IC.
