After that, Ivy kept her eyes on the clock. Once the second hand had reached the twelve, Ivy stood up straight and scanned her eyes over the students in her class, including the dirty ones. "Some of you learned the hard way," she began, starting to walk down the middle isle between the rows of dirty desks, "that I don't want you doing magic before class - or, for that matter, before I tell you to." She looked at a few of the dirty faces before turning around and pausing. "Thank you for participating in that experiment. I hope the others learned just as well as you did."

With that, Ivy walked back up the isle to the front of the class and stood in front of the chalkboard and faced her class. "For those of you who are too ignorant to have noticed, my name is Professor Ivy Knox. I was recently elected to work on the Board of Governor's and I am now temporarily helping out your Headmistress in filling the Charms position. And for those of you wondering, yes, I am qualified to teach." Unlike some professors here, in her own, personal opinion, but she wasn't going to get into that.

"Now, let us begin. As many of you noticed, and tried to fix, this classroom is a disaster. No, I did not forget to clean, nor was I too lazy to. Today we will be talking and learning about Scouring Charms, or Cleaning Charms." As soon as she said it, Ivy flicked her wand towards the board and the chalk immediately wrote down the phrase. "Now, tell me what kind of spells you might use to clean up or tidy this room or anywhere around the castle. Give me examples. We'll be focusing on cleaning today, but some of you think outside of the box here, just for the time being." Ivy looked around and waited for answers.
