Gaston had been worried when he saw Miss Primeaux hit the floor, but luckily, she didn't seem hurt... or at least she said she wasn't anyway. He started to offer her a hand to help her up, but she was already getting to her feet herself. "I'm glad you're alright," he said with a small smile, though he eyed her with concern.

Then a unexpected voice caught his attention, and he turned to Mr. Blaze, just as the boy picked up the plane that had just hit Miss Primeaux. "It's okay, Mr. Blaze," he said. After all, no lasting harm was done, and he had no reason to believe it had been anything but an accident. "Just please try to be a bit more careful with your aim."

He had only finished dealing with that minor crisis when a loud BANG caused his head to whip around just in time to see FIRE. His heart dropped and the color drained from his face. Jarring himself into motion he quickly drew his wand and extinguished the fire, leaving the remains of a yellow airplane. No need to ask who that belonged to... He pulled another yellow plane out of the box on his desk and gave it to Mr. Ashbury-Hawthorne. "Great attempt, Mr. Ashbury-Hawthorne," he said with an encouraging smile, "but try saying the spell a bit quieter; that should keep it from igniting."

He spent the next couple of minutes wandering between the rows of desks, offering praise and advice as he went. "Excellent, Mr. Dooley!" "You too, Miss Kramer!" "Now you've got it, MIss McKinley!"

He saw Mr. Carter pull his plane out of a dip just before hitting the floor and smiled at him. "Excellent recovery, Mr. Carter!" Miss Diggory made a similar recovery, and she had managed to cast the spell nonverbally too. "Great work, Miss Diggory, and congratulations on doing the spell nonverbally!" he said, beaming. Miss Cambridge was also attempting to cast nonverbally, this time with the rocket charm, and was having trouble. "Keep trying, Miss Cambridge; I know you can do it!" he encouraged.

He looked at his watch again; it was time to move on. "TIME IS UP!" he called, moving back to his usual place at the center of the room. "Great job, everyone; I'm so pleased with your progress! If you still need more practice, you'll have more time to do so in a moment, but for now we must move on..."

He drew his wand and removed the barrier he'd placed over the bubbles earlier. "For today's main activity, we'll be playing a little game of bubble pop," he explained. "It's exactly what it sounds like; simply aim your toy planes at a group of TWO OR MORE bubbles in the matching color, like so..." He picked up a red airplane and aimed a nonverbal Alarte Ascendare. It took off with a BANG and collided with a line of red bubbles on the bottom row. POP! POP! POP! POP!

"These planes are charmed to only pop bubbles of the same color, so don't worry if you hit the wrong color," he continued. He aimed the toy plane at a series of blue bubbles next, and... nothing happened. The bubbles remained intact, and the plane gently floated back down. "Use either of the spells we've practiced today, but a quick word of advise: Alatre Ascendare is more useful for bubbles along the bottom row, while Wingardum Leviosa helps aim more precisely for bubbles at the sides or top." To demonstrate his point, he cast a nonverbal levitation charm and aimed his plane at a cluster of red bubbles near the top.

With a wave of his wand, more red bubbles appeared to replace the ones he'd popped. "It's possible to pop up to FIVE bubbles at a time and be sure to keep track of how many you've hit. The house with the most bubbles popped will win ten points. You may begin... NOW!"

OOC: Main activity time! The rules are pretty straightforward: pop bubbles in your house color. Decide which spell works best for you,, but you must use the rocket charm AND the levitation charm at least once for full credit. There is no minimum post count, but please title your post with the number of bubbles you pop (between 2-5) so I can keep track of the score. If you have questions, indicate in the title of your post; Gaston and I will be checking back in. You have ABOUT 4 DAYS (4:30 AM EST [GMT -5] Nov. 11) to do the activity!
