No matter, they were learning and that was important.
"Very good class. You may all take 2 points each for those very....umm..creative and informative (for lack of a better word) answers. From hiding in a game of hide and go seek, to running for your lives and even preventing the breach of the secrecy statute...it makes it clear that the disillusionment charm is an integral part of wizarding society."
She stood once again and made her way to the board and wrote:
"Now their are two ways to cast this charm. If you are casting it on yourself you simple clearly say the incantation and twirl the wand around your body, as though you are using the wand to wrap rope around yourself. If you are casting it on someone else, the wand movement is a simple tap on the head of the person or thing. If it is a person they should feel as if someone has cracked an egg on their head..as Mr.Odessa mentioned earlier."
She stood up and demonstrated the spell on herself then on her desk then undid when she felt everyone had a good enough look.
"I'm going to need everyone to step outside of their desk and practice casting this spell on your desk. Once I'm satisfied with your progression you'll move on to you casting the spell on yourselves." Kendall hadn’t been able to help the grin that crossed her face as Professor Bellaire had responded to all the suggestions of instances where people might need the Disillusionment charm. She’d earned more points, which was kind of awesome. It hadn’t been as many as the first time, although there also hadn’t been that odd sense of almost getting into trouble, so therefore, it was awesome. Plus, now it seemed like they were actually going to learn the charm. She’d blinked at the explanation of the wand movements, though. Namely, the fact they were supposed to do some weird twirly thing around themselves, and the professor’s demonstration really hadn’t shown her how to accomplish that without ending up confused and non-ninja-like. That wouldn’t be good, but for now they weren’t casting on themselves. Just their desks, and she hopped up as soon as they had been instructed to.
She could manage a tap, but first, she wanted to practice the incantation. “Disillusiona. Disillusiona, disillusiona, disillusiona,” she repeated several times, before she took herwand out and tapped it on her desk. “Disillusiona.” Hmm, she thought, as it faintly looked like the surface of her desk wavered a little, but then solidified again. That wasn’t right, and she eyed the desk. It was going to let her disillusion it. She wasn’t vanishing it or anything, and actually, she was curious if she’d be able to sit in it while it was Disillusioned. It would look like she was floating, which was interesting. First, she had to actually get it to cooperate. “Disillusiona!,” she said, a bit more forcefully, as she tapped the desk again. “Well, you sort of worked,” she said, as the desk disappeared. The legs were still visible, and the chair, but she’d gotten eh top part of the desk to disappear. It was something.
