Questions? Yes, she did have one actually. She raised her hand. Professor, may I sit down to take notes?" She needed to do that right? It seemed like everybody was still standing and she didn't want to be in detention over sitting down. That just seemed like a waste of energy.
"The notes will remain on the board until the end of class. There is no point in taking down notes that you do not understand. Once we are done with today's activity, you may take down the notes." Quote:

Why not somehow lasso them down, and make it less rainy outside so he could go skateboarding more? Skateboarding in the rain was no fun at all.
Also, he was pretty sure she'd said charm. Weird.
Anyway. Questions. Yes, Benjy had one. "Sorry, Professor," he asked politely, "but who is Professor Wright-Bellaire that you mentioned? Are we going to have a visiting Professor as well this term?"
He just wanted to be in the know with these things. Yup.
Also, why did West and Nigel have their hair up like that? It looked odd.
Professor Bellaire blinked at Benjy for a couple of seconds well before using her wand to write her name in the air.
Professor Sophia Jane Bellaire nee Wright.
You'd think the students would know the names of their professors.
"Does that answer your question Mr. Barton?" Quote:

"Weather changing charms are not the focus of this lesson, like I stated before, however there are four known weather charms and numerous deviations of them. Due to the nature of charms it is always impossible to know for sure, which is why there was a committee put in place to monitor them." Quote:

Just as she had claimed her spot she saw the Professor go nuts.... Points being taken away right and left... Her eyes widened. Note to self do not cross Professor Bellaire. She crazy!!!
Replicating snow clouds! That was so cool!! Oh yeah snow!! She loved snow! But how was this Transfiguration? She reached into her bag and lifted her leg up a bit trying to write down the notes. They were not the best notes but they would do she could re-write them down later. "So how is this charm transfiguration, is it because it is creating it..." She didn't no the difference between stuff so Professor would have to tell her!
"Why don't I let your classmates answer that question for you?" And that would be the next course of action.

Kyroh understood the words sure but.... why? The claw wasn't about to ask though. Some adults were no questions, no hug type people like his grandfather. And so was Professor Bellaire clearly. Running over to a spot in the classroom, Kyroh stood up straight and pulled out a piece of parchment and a self inking quill. Even with the quill, writing while standing up wasn't exactly easy. And sure his parchment had some holes it in, but Kyroh had got the basics.
Snow Cloud.
Weather-Modifying Charms.
Year long project.
Questions!? His hand shot in the air of course. "How long do these charms last Miss Professor? Also, how do we know they'll be snow clouds and not rain clouds since it not that cold in here?" Kyroh knew zero about Transfiguration but if it used Charms.....he still knew zero about Charms so that didn't help too much.
All he knew was that he did not want to be rained on.
"Those are good questions Mr. Scabior. The weather charms last for a day or a little over that. The weather as you know changes daily and even more regularly than that, and because the charms are suppose to mimic the weather..the spell fades just as quickly. Bare in mind that the strength of the spell also factors in." Hmm...
"Only you can determine weather not it snows or rains Kyroh. Perform the spell correctly and it will snow." ----------------------------------- "Now class. Who can quickly explain the difference between charms and transfiguration?"
She tapped her wand and raised it. "In the meantime I will perform the atmospheric spell to prep the room." Sophia pointed her wand to all four corners of the room and pretty soon there was a change in temperature.
"Now it's about to get a little chilly in here so I hope you all brought or wore your gloves as instructed."
She eyed the lot of them.
"You will all receive a small Cumulus, which you are expected to transfigure into Cumulonimbus looking clouds." Another wave of her wands, saw clouds erupting from her wand tips and assigning themselves to each student." Because she wanted to be sure everyone was on the same page she asked the dreaded question.
"Does everyone understand? Is everyone clear on what I am asking you to do?"
