Then she began to look around the room to see if anyone else was partnerless and then she saw the headboy standing all alone. Walking over to the door slowly and sneakily trying not to disturb the class she tapped the Head Boy's arm. "Need a partner?" she whispered. But all she was thinking was please say yes, she needed a partner.

He was still rolling on his feet giving both Ariana and Alice looks while they paired up. He attempted a wave back to Ariana, but was suprised when he felt a small tap on his arm. He looked down at a small first year girl from his same house. Alexia, she had been to a few Quidditch practices with him. "I do in fact." How difficult will pairing up with a first year be? It shouldn't be too bad. He looked back at Ariana, then gave Alexia a quick nod telling her she can stay.

Text Cut: Knox

Then Suddenly Oakey started to like this Professor. Ice Cream is BAD.

Text Cut: Knox continued

No, Oakey couldn't explain the differnece between the two at the moment. He was too busy admiring Professor Knox's hate for Ice Cream. She did hate it, he hoped. She sounded like she hated it.

SPOILER!!: the Lovely Ice Cream Hater <3

Okay, now that they had all spoken... "You all gave excellent answers. To summarize, we can conclude that the Intruder Charm is most used in households or smaller places and are, as Mr. Odessa said, more discreet. Caterwauling Charms are mostly used in larger areas, such as Hogsmeade in past times, and are much louder and disruptive than the Intruder Charm. Like Mr. Branxton said, the Caterwauling Charm will tell everyone when someone has entered the area."

Once that was clarified, Ivy turned back to the board and wrote the incantation for the Intruder Charm on the board:

Intruder Charm
in-TROO-duss con-COO-shee-oh

"To successfully cast an Intruder Charm, you must say the incantation while tracing the area you wish to be covered by this charm. In this case, you will be pointing and tracing your wand around the door frame in front of you. You could do the same with a window or any other way of entrance. Not only does the Intruder Charm detect when someone enters by door or window, it can also detect if they enter a room by other means, such as apparition, portkeys, floo, etcetera. If you wanted to cover a whole room or house with this spell, to detect when someone enters by other magical means, you would verbally repeat the incantation whilst tracing your wand around the perimeter of the room, or the house." Pretty handy, she thought.

"Today you will be learning how to cast the Intruder Charm on one of the doors in this room. No, they don't lead anywhere. They are simply, empty doors. If you don't have a partner, find one now. You and your partner will practice together the incantation and then one of you will cast the Intruder Charm on the door. Once you feel it is sufficient, your partner will walk through the door, and if the alarm goes off, you will have succeeded. You will then remove the charm with Finite Incantatem and your partner will repeat those steps and you will walk through their charmed door. Understood?" Ivy looked around at her students to make sure they understood her directions, or if they had questions.

"Get to work then!"

This was going to be really simple, the charm seemed easy. "Okay Alexia, I'll go first and you can step through the door." Taking Out his wand from it's holster Oakey eyed the door before him.
"Let's both practice the incantation first, then you can step through the door." Alexia was only a first year after all. He wasn't doubting her skills if he ended up being a charms prodigy, he just wasn't going to risk it.
"in-TROO-duss con-COO-shee-oh...in-TROO-duss con-COO-shee-oh, in-TROO-duss con-COO-shee-oh...in-TROO-duss con-COO-shee-oh"
He felt pretty confident in the pronunciation. How was Alexia doing?

"No. No, no, no, and if anyone talks about ice cream again, they'll get three times as much homework. Understood?" Ivy glared at Alexa and Daichi and then everybody else. Did they not understand the meaning of quiet? Then Suddenly Oakey started to like this Professor. Ice Cream is BAD. Text Cut: Knox continued "Intruder Charm" "... The Intruder Charm." See? Much more interesting than locking and unlocking doors and cleaning the classroom. "Though similar, the Intruder Charm is not to be mistaken for the Caterwauling Charm," she explained. "Can someone tell me what the Intruder Charm does? And what is the difference between the Intruder Charm and the Caterwauling Charm?" No, Oakey couldn't explain the differnece between the two at the moment. He was too busy admiring Professor Knox's hate for Ice Cream. She did hate it, he hoped. She sounded like she hated it.
