Kendra nodded. "Yes, that's exactly right. Those are the Three D's of Apparition." But did she know what each one was? Perhaps one of her classmates could expand. Quote:

So, one could maybe argue that it is the most important D of the three?" "That is a very good point," Kendra nodded. Was the rest of the class listening? "And it is important to remember what those limitations are." Something that they were taught during these lessons. "But I'd dare not say one is more important than the other. They all work together equally in order to allow apparition to happen." Quote:

"I disagree," which wasn't a surprise because she typically did when it came to Derfael Ashburry-Hawthorne. "It'd be dumb to place more importance on one of them 'cause at the end of the day, if you get even one wrong you could seriously hurt yourself." Here, she paused for dramatic effect. "Or die." "Death as a result from apparition is rare, especially if you've obtained your license through the proper channels," Kendra begin as this morbid young girl chose an interesting response to her review questions. "But it is a possibility. It is important to know the risks. You can become seriously injured by splinching if you are not prepared or do not apparate properly." But they were all aware of this since the beginning of the course. They'd be fine. SPOILER!!: quiet kiddos Quote:

Three D's...probably could make it four for Depression if you keep splinching yourself here or fail it.
Or just Die could be another D.
In the most extreme of extreme cases. Enough people answered for him to just not care enough to give his own answer Quote:

Not that she was still bitter about that or anything.) Once the nametag was in place and straight, she looked up and just listened. Because, duh, of course she was taking this as seriously as a muggle takes their driver's test. Quote:

They were a statement, and a find Dante sure as hell hadn't expected to run into, but Verona was a mysterious city with a mysterious way and the Italian young man was certain the goggles had been a departing gift. The rest? Mostly Valentino. The white linen pants and shirt were from his father, but the belt (which was the same luxurious color of the leather goggles)had been custom made for Dante by his beautiful grandmama. They carried his initials - and Abra's but the Gryffindor hoped no one would be close enough to see that.
Not uninvited, anyway.
He had opted out of a scarf, deciding that was a little too...American, a little too.. Earhart, and he most certainly wasn't cosplaying.
anyway, he'd taken up a spot by Zoryn Spinnet. She looked good, very radiant thanks to Faith's natural healing, but to be quite honest, reader- Dante missed Zoryn's easily boiled over rage. scusa mamma, scusa hogwarts. Kendra ignored the silent students assembled today. Of course, she had expected a little more from the apparition hopefuls in terms of a review, but hopefully their silence simply meant they were focused for their exam. They would need to be,
"Alright, then. Let's get to it," Kendra began before gesturing towards the exam apparition course. "In order to receive your license, you must first complete this course. Once I give the word, you will all apparate to the first line of hoops. Then, you may take the rest of the course in your time. Be warned however; the longer you take, the more likely one of the obstacles will deter your path." Under pressure a little? Yes... but it was important that they were able to apparate under many conditions and do it properly. Apparition was no joke and needed to be taken seriously.
"Once you apparate into the second hoop, you will have sixty seconds to apparate into the next hoop before large, soft balls will be thrown at you." Not by her or anyone else, they were just magically charmed that way. "And then the next hoop, you will have thirty seconds before the individual magic clouds above them begin to rain on you. After that, please apparate to one of the final floating disks in the pool. Try to do it without falling in." Would they fail if they did? Not necessarily, but she would be noting their progress.
"Please stay in your line so you are not attempting to apparate in the same place as someone else." They really didn't need any accidents today. "Everyone ready? Apparate into your first hoop at your will." OOC - You can complete this course with whatever degree of success you decide for your character in as many RP posts as you'd like. I'm not going to RP the obstacles happening; you can determine their outcome as you go. Here is the order for reference:- Starting hoop
- 2nd hoop - dodge balls will hit you after 60 seconds, if you do not apparate before then
- 3rd hoop - a rain cloud is activated after 30 seconds, if you do not apparate before then
- End - floating disk in a pool at the end of the course
Have fun! And let me know if you have any questions.
