He gave the students a moment to process the new information before going on, "When casting this charm, it's important to know the general location of the thing you want to summon. If the object is too far away, the spell won't pick it up. Too vague a location, and it could pick up the wrong thing."

He drew his wand. "To cast the spell, make the upside-down U, point your wand in the direction of your target, and say the incantation. Like so..." He did the wand movement and pointed his wand at the scrap of parchment he'd used earlier. "Accio." The parchment flew across the room into his awaiting hand.

"Now you'll have the chance to practice both of the spells we learned today, but just for reference..." He pointed his wand at the blackboard, and the following words appeared:

The professor turned and aimed his wand at the trunk. The lid opened to reveal the inside full of snowballs. Well, not real snowballs but cotton balls with an engorgement charm placed on the to make them about the size of a softball. "For this exercise, you'll use the summoning charm to make the balls come to you, then use the banishing charm to send them back into the trunk. Repeat this process a few times until you feel comfortable with both spells, and don't worry if your aim is a little off. Just try to get as close to the trunk as possible. Let's get started then!"

OOC: There is no minimum post requirement for this mini activity. YOu have 24-36 HOURS to complete it. If you have questions, please indicate in the title of your post; I'll be checking back periodically to answer.

Zelena smiled to herself as she was informed that she had indeed said the correct answer. It certainly took a load off her mind. She knew how to perform the Summoning Charm but decided to write down the information anyway. She retrieved the parchment next to her which contained the information on the Banishing Charm that she had written and her quill and wrote underneath.

"Accio (Summoning Charm) - Wand motion: Upside down U-shape".

She placed her parchment and quill back down next to her and picked up her wand. She decided to practice saying the incantation to the Banishment Charm. "Depulso, Depulso, Depulso..."Zelena chanted in her mind, ensuring she got the pronunciation right. She then practised the sweeping of the wand movement that made certain of the Banishment Charm's success. After a few attempts, Zelena felt ready to perform the two spells.

She got up and made her way to a spot that was not too close nor too far and aimed her wand at the "snowballs". Inhaling and concentrating, Zelena drew an upside-down "U" with her wand and clearly said, "Accio" as she exhaled. A huge "snowball" came hurtling towards her at a considerable speed. Her eyes widened slightly at she quickly "swept" her wand and said with a slight tremor in her voice, "Depulso."

Zelena felt quite frustrated with herself and was determined to do this properly. She exhaled and aimed her wand at the trunk once again. "Accio!" She said clearly and firmly as she made the correct wand movement (upside-down "U"), concentrating on the object easing its way to her. Much to her glee, the "snowball" slowly made its journey towards her. Zelena returned the "snowball" with a sweep of her wand and a "Depulso!"

Zelena felt very pleased with herself at achieving the two charms.
