Doing the mature thing and pulling on the end of his balloon to slowly release the helium from within, producing one of those high pitch REEEEEEEEEEEE sounds that air made when escaping such soft quarters, the professor began to make his way around the classroom to check on students' progress. And partly to make sure that no one was going to get blasted across the room as he had done to himself in his office.

The balloon flew out of his hands once more. "Seriously?" muttered Simon as he turned bright pink with embarrassment. He could do the magic but he couldn't tie a simple dinky balloon? His blue eyes widened for a second. "Sorry... Balloons have a mind of their own.... Watch out!"

And it didn't take long before the first wild balloon went zipping through the air, right pass Miss Cambridge, and SMACKED him right between the eyes after which the balloon fell unceremoniously to the ground. Seeing stars - or were they whizzing red balloons? - it took the man a moment to regain his bearings before he knelt down to pick up the balloon on the ground.

"Anyone lose their balloon?" he asked, still in chipmunk voice.

Still holding the mystery balloon in his hand, he threw Miss Valentine an approving grin. "Well done paraphrasing an iconic catchphrase to fit your own situation, Miss Valentine. Take a point for your own twist on the infamous words of Dr. Leonard McCoy!"

SPOILER!!: Kevin & Els :3

So they had to puff magical air in to a balloon?. PFFFT HOW EASY WAS THAT?! Kevin had actually let out a laugh. Yes, he heard that it was a very difficult and advanced magic ...But he was Kevin , he could do E-VE-RY-THING. He flicked his wrist and grabbed his phoenix feather wand out of his wrist holster. Just a flick right? Wait, what was the incantation?

The kid listened and when he knew it he teared the package from the table and picked out a balloon. Then he flicked his wand and shouted "Helic umtus!" .............Of course, nothing happened so he tried again. "Helic umtus!" WOOOOOOSH! The balloon in his hand caught fire and Kevin shrieked before he dropped it on the floor and stomped on the fire-balloon, effectively putting out the small fire. He hadn't even thought of using Aguamenti...

The balloon stuck under his shoe now and Kevin made a face as he tried to take it off by scraping his shoe over the floor. Like a gum sticking under his shoe. Picking another balloon, Kevin took a deep breath and flicked his wand. "Helic umtus!" again ..nothing happened. Not even a small puff of air.

Did this mean he had to ASK for an older student for help? UUUUGH. The boy looked around , searching for someone he could command in helping him out.

She was just putting her first balloon over the end of her wand when a sense of warmth caught her from somewhere to her left, and like a bug she flocked towards it. But it was just that annoying brat from potions setting fire to his balloon like an idiot. Instead of testing the spell on her own balloon, she folded her arms and watched. Another try and he was a fail. Bravo, kid. Bravo.

"You got something to ask, rugrat?" Ask it. Use your words.

Definitely not your wand..because he was a joke.

FIRE?!

Thank MERLIN he had opted to teach them how to conjure helium rather than hydrogen for this task. Whole bloody classroom would have blown up! He was pretty sure that his heart had stopped beating and he was having an out of body experience as he watched Miss Robertser go over and assist (or try to assist anyway) Mr. Hirase.

He offered the seventh year prefect an appreciate salute. CARRY ON!

"Calm down, Miss Valentine. It is not the end of the world if you struggle with this spell," he said calmly as he made his way back over towards the Gryffindor. "End of the world would be if a mile-wide asteroid were to hit the earth."

Oh yes. He was SO good at comforting panicking students.

"Which isn't happening now or in the next billion or so years, so deep breaths and let's see what we can do here to help you with this spell."

Smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth like chunky peanut butter.

A couple minutes went by until the balloon was watermelon sized. She carefully tried to remove her wand from the balloon…

BRZST!

She looked on with horror as her balloon whirred off the wand and sailed around the classroom. Cheeks glowing with embarrassment, she turned back to her desk and grabbed another balloon. Maybe no one would notice.

And while his back was turned from the other half of the semi circle, another balloon went whizzing through the air and struck him in the back of the head. Heh, like an asteroid hitting the earth. Heh.

IDEAS WERE FORMING NOW! LESSON IDEAS! OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

"I now am in possession of TWO balloons!" he called out while waving them in the air, still with his squeaky squeaky voice. Anyone going to claim them?

BURST!!!!!!

AGHH!! It popped! Woaahhh he did not expect that! Welp time to try it again!

KABOOM! Or well, not really kaboom since that was not the sound a balloon made when it popped, but the imagery was there.

"Alright, Mr. Lecium. Nothing to worry about. Just be sure you pick up all the pieces, please."

Ah yes, he knew that the chipmunk voices would catch on after a bit. He ought to prop open a window here in just a bit to let some of the excess helium out.

"We should duet, Mr. Branxton," he teased, giving the seventh year a quick salute. Was he familiar with Alvin and the Chipmunks? Had found a few vintage music collections in a muggle music shop a few summers ago. Muggles listened to odd things back in the day.

OOC: you still have AT LEAST 17 hours to complete this portion of the activity ~~and shoot each other accidentally with balloons and whatnot~~.
