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:
Intrudus Concutio
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!"
OOC: I want at least THREE posts per STUDENT for this activity. Feel free to use more, but you won't get extra points. (;
You have at least 22 hours to do this. If Peeves keeps this up, I'll give you a little extra time. I'm not going to do a demonstration, just because Peeves is taking up a lot of time and I want to leave as much time for you guys as possible! It's fairly self explanatory though, so good luck! If you have any questions, PM me or ask Professor Knox. =)
easy enough, right, Ariana looked over to her partner, Alice, and nodded
"easy enough" trace the door while saying the spell, good right..
SPOILER!!: Alice

Because he was extremely imbecilic and just THINKING about him murdered her brain cells.
Intrudus Concutio. Okay.
"I'm going to cast first and you're going to walk though," she informed Ariana and, without waiting for comment, began practicing the spell. "Intrudus Concutio. Intrudus Concutio. In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh. Intrudus Concutio. Intrudus Concuti- stop looking at your boyfriend, partner." Reaching out and adjusting Ariana's chin to tilt it towards her (she was better looking than Oakey anyway, didn't Logan know?), Alice gave her another look before resuming her spell practice. "Intrudus Concutio."
If she could keep her eyes off certain people for an hour or two, they should have been able to as well. Merlin's beard. Someone get her a bin, she was going to upchuck.
she was looking around the room daydreaming, which she shouldn't have been doing in the first place but she was and well, that's just what was happening. Oh, Alice wanted to go first, suited her fine, see she was listening, she didn't have to be looking to be listening. Just then her face was touched and moves to look over at the Gryffindor Captain.
"I'm listening okay?" really she was, calm down, killer. Did the Lion think she was just staring at Oakey? she
was wasn't so no need to get your hippogriffs all wild up.
SPOILER!!: lolAlice!

Alice considered Logan's choice of imbecilic tree boys as she continued her spell practice. "Intrudus Concutio. Intrudus Concutio. In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh. Intrudus Concutio. Intrudus Concutio." That was enough, yeah? It sounded right on her tongue. Turning away from her partner for a second to practice the movement, she gave Ariana a moment to continue her staring as she focused on the door. Because SHE was working.
Just trace the frame, right? Alice did just that with her wand, not piecing it together with the spell yet, but just working with her hands for the moment. Was this good? She would have looked to Ariana for confirmation, but she was probably still staring at Oakey, so she didn't bother.
Casting next?
Wha..? I'm not staring at him, I was reading over the spell and going over it in my head." Goodness what did she sign up for with this one, she was a forced to be wrecken with, Alice was, and Ariana was making mental notes to never pair with her again unless they would learning spells to make the other less annoying or something.
"I wasn't, ok..?" even if he was adorable she wasn't.
SPOILER!!: oh!Alice

Intrudus Concutio. In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh. Intrudus Concutio. Intrudus Concutio." In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh. She repeated it again in her head and tried the movement by itself one more time, standing on her toes to get to the top of the frame. It was loads easier, which she liked, no complicated flick-flourish-swish-point-jab-horseshoe-mountain formation, et cetera. Just tracing.
Noting that Logan STILL wasn't paying attention, she focused her concentration on the door and began spell casting. "Intrudus Concutio." The incantation was spoken slowly as she stretched to outline the door frame again, and once she felt her tracing was sufficient, Alice turned back to her partner. "Done." If she hadn't noticed yet. "You can walk through it now."
Go on, Ariana, she didn't have all day. Hmph. Oakey's fault, probably.
even though she was annoying a bit, Alice was doing very well. Ariana might have been off in her own headspace but she was paying attention
kinda and she knew what was going on, in a way.. she was just a bit distracted this lesson and well, that's just that. She saw her tracing the door out of the corner of her eye, she was watching.
"Done..? Goodjob." compliments were nice right, and alice did do that pretty quickly.
going over to the door Ariana gave a
sarcasticbig smile to Alice before turning the doorknob and walking through the door...

Nicely Done Miss Alice! now it was her turn...
"Intrudus Concutio... In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh" she said reading the board, almost having to squint, she should of warm her glasses that might of been beneficial
"In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh, In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh,In-TROO-duss Con-COO-shee-oh" this was was a dozy to say ans a bit funny when said super slowly
'In--TROO--duss Con--COOOO-sheee--oh' she said in her head and giggled a bit
"nifty spell don't you think?" she said to Alice who was.. what was she doing.. probably not paying attention like she thought Ariana was doing when she was working, of course..
