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."
Kaiden stiffened as the professor came near, fearing she would slap him for not performing correctly. It had happened before with a piano teacher he had once had, but professor Bellaire simply corrected his flailing movement. He tried to keep up the smaller more concise movement, but soon his arm was going wide once again. All the while, he continued practicing the incantation, letting the strange foreign words become relatively familiar. As the professor began speaking, he stopped what he was doing and paid attention, before getting up and heading into the indicated direction.

He could DO THIS.
Wuuuut?
West got up. "Consistent. Right."
He went and stood with the younger students and waited to be claimed as a partner. It was less effort on his part if he didn't actually have to look for someone.
And he could watch his sister. And Sierra Greingoth. And that Joao boy. And see if Gary had any apples.
Right, he needed a partner to do practice with. Were they supposed to team up with anyone in their age group, or did he need to team up with another first year? He wasn't entirely sure, but it would probably be better to partner with someone in his year. Looking around, he spotted West and headed over to him.
"Hey, Odessa, wanna team up?" because yeah, this could be fun!
