Actually, she'd completely forgotten that the instructions on the board had told them to find one, but as Aquila had answered the question tentatively, her head had snapped up and she'd realized the younger girl was standing alone. Easy. She just took a few sidesteps and then she was standing near the girl and a door. "I'll be your partner, Aquila", she whispered, before raising her hand.

"Alohomora and Colloportus? The spells to lock and unlock doors. Or maybe we'll be learning other variations of those spells?," she replied, her attention back to the professor without a pause. Either that, or they were playing some kind of game where the ones who picked the right door got a prize, but she didn't think this particular professor was one for playing games. She didn't like talking, obviously, and she didn't like warm classrooms.

Oh! Oh! Kendall is here. Aquila beamed at the upperclassman joining her, and listened to how she pronounced those two spells. Merlin she makes it sound so easy. Alohamora will probably be easier, but that locking spell she will obviously trip all over with.


SPOILER!!: Knox and Kendall

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:

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. =)

Kendall really hadn’t been too bothered by that, especially since she honestly hadn’t thought that they’d have been learning something as simple as Alohomora and Colloportus, even if there were little firsties in the lesson. That hadn’t stopped any of the other professors from teaching more complicated spells than this, and at least she hadn’t had the problem of still not having a partner. Aquila hadn’t acted anything but excited, and therefore she was thinking positive. A fairly easy spell, at least regarding wand movements, and a willing partner. She couldn’t ask for much more than that, other than maybe an incantation that wasn’t so dependent on pronunciation. She could almost guarantee that her accent was going to come back and cause problems, although she could handle that as long as it didn’t make other things go wonky as well. She didn’t feel like explaining why her hair turned black, so she was just going to have to doubly focus.

At least they had practice time, and she’d sent her partner a grin. They were totally ready for practice, if not actually casting it yet. At least, that was what she’d thought. “Ready, Aquila?,” she asked, before glancing over to double-check on the incantation. Between seeing it written and listening to everyone around them, they shouldn’t forget. “In-tru-dus Con-cu-tio,” she said slowly, sounding it out before she tried to say it any quicker. As it was, it sounded even weirder all dragged out, so after a moment she repeated herself, saying it quicker. “Intrudus Concutio.” Now that that was settled, she quietly traced her wand around the doorframe without speaking. She didn’t want to accidentally cast the charm before Aquila got to practice.

BUT it doesn’t look like they were going to do those spells, as the Professor just said they were going to go with alarm detection. Well yes useful. If she cant lock her own doors with magic at least she can make it make a lot of noise.

She watched the Professor’s demo and realized... its even more difficult than the opening and locking spell combined. She turned her attention to Kendall and drew her wand slowly, saying the incantation a few seconds behind her fellow Claw “In-tro-duz Con-cu-tiow..... In-tru-dus Con-cu-tio..... Intrudus Concutio.” Did that sound right? She hoped so.

“Show me how it goes Kendall. Try it on the door.” The young one whispered shyly to the upperclassman. Kendall had better skills than her and she needs all the help to make sure she does this spell right.
