Big smile to both of them because now this could be fun unless the skates actually were like she said helping them get balance which wasn't as fun. Don't think Eloise has seen Nina do anything athletic in her entire time know the Personification of Boring and being Judgey.
Now what was the spell again because all Eloise was remember was Law this and Law that...oh wait now she remembered She pointed her wand at the pole and with the correct movements here we go! "kreahre ORbis!"
Feels weird but in a good way like a nudge.
Lets start going faster for fun! Miss Fairfield was causing trouble. Why was she not surprised? But also, why was she so entertained? "I think you'd only be able to see people who're fools off skates be fools on skates," she called from her location across the room. Then, she proceeded to draw into a closer orbit so she could watch the explosion of drama that was sure to happen close up just in case points needed to be taken.
Seemed harmless enough for now. SPOILER!!: emjay Quote:

Even if seeing Professor Sandhu's attire might have told him otherwise, the Slytherin wasn't too surprised with his hand cramping up as he jotted down line after line in his notes. There really was a lot of information today and honestly, he didn't feel much like offering to the discussion himself.
But he put his notes away when prompted, and after jotting down the incantation and wand movement notes for the spell, and pulled out his wand to practice. Gunnar was just about to have his textbook orbit his head when he looked up. Stretching...? Oh. Oh right. He had forgotten about the roller skates he spotted upon entering the classroom. And though he missed some of the outdoor physical activity he was used to, he wasn't so sure he was excited about roller skating around the room with the rest of the class. Or at least that's what he figured they'd be doing.
And it would appear that he guessed correctly. After he successfully made his book circle around his head several times, Gunnar allowed it to drop to his desk with a THUD, then looked up as the professor clapped her hands to get their attention. Great. He did his part in gathering up his things and moving things out of the way in order for them to do this skating orbiting thing. And some stretching of course.
He had just gotten his skates on when he heard a loud, pointed question from his younger housemate, Eloise. Normally, he wasn't bothered with whatever nonsense she was often known to be spouting. But it was clear that she thought she was clever and when it was directed towards a friend (or two), it was a bit harder to ignore. "Only if we get to watch you look like a fool first," he told her as cast the spell for himself, shoulder checking her as he passed her. "Oops, my bad," he said with an innocent and apologetic smile over his shoulder. "Still getting used to the spell." He wasn't too worried about bumping her accidentally since he didn't do it very hard and he doubted she'd fall. Not with the stability charm on the skates. Simran snickered and gave him a thumbs-up of approval, but did not otherwise intervene. Physical activity really did bring out the best in everyone, and this was probably what they needed to get some of that pent up energy out. Also, well, it was nice seeing the usually more reserved McCarthy defending his friends.
Oh, how she loved her job. SPOILER!!: hermionesclone; ArianaBlack Quote:

And not a blush, he was probably tomato RED.
Sandhu was saying something. Something about being proud in his success, something about motivators, and about dancing - what?! But all of that seemed to be dulled down by the amount of internal screaming that was going on. He looked up at her and offered a shy smile but didn't say anything. There was no need, right?
Thankfully, Sandhu was also starting to move on so he decided to concentrate on her, instead. He picked up his bag, dumped his pencil case - with his watch still inside - and his quill in it and then went to place it at the back of the room. Turning around, he was...... uh, surprised to see that the furniture was gone and a pole was standing up in the middle of the room. And.......
........ oh. This was the skating part?
The internal screaming was back, but this time from fear and not embarrassment. This was really happening? They really had to skate around?? Oh merlin. He let out a very small groan, even rubbing his face with his hands as he did so. It was a cool way to learn about orbits, sure, but-
The sound of tension (?) amongst some of the older students broke through Lucas's thoughts and he found himself, uh, looking. Awkwardly. He wasn't getting involved, of course, but it was hard not to hear certain bits, you know?
Okay, no. He was stretching. That's what he was doing. OH NO, CHILDREN, YOU WERE NOT SITTING THIS OUT. "Tick tock," she said, eyeing Nina and Lucas determinedly. "There's nothing to lose here."
Especially since she'd taken care of the biggest risk factors. "UP UP UP. Follow the direction the room is skating in and you'll be okay."
P L E A S E? She'd put a lot of effort into this lesson. SPOILER!!: Kimothy Quote:

He could balance school work along with everything else, but to physically balance himself was a whole other level of struggle that the Ravenclaw didn't want to deal with. "Har har," was all the fifth year could manage. He wasn't about to play that game with Eloise, and he chose not to mind it. Her jokes were usually harmless unless directed towards Nina because that was an entirely different story.
But he still continued to slowly put the skates on, until he no longer had an excuse to be sitting around. Drewett stretched his legs and wiggled his toes inside the shoe before getting on his feet. Thank Merlin for stabilizing charms. At least it looked like he had some control over himself. He also allowed a tiny smirk to play on his lips at Gunnar being Gunnar right there. Thanks, mate.
Letting out a huff, Drewett started working around the classroom in a orbit to get himself into the momentum. He didn't want to go too fast. Slow pace was where it's at, and it was the only pace he could comfortably handle. It felt weird being on skates. It was his first time on them, actually, so he was taking his time to ease himself into the situation. Two rounds were probably enough and that was when he eventually did the wand movement and casted a "Creare Orbis."
The gentle tug was something. He hadn't decided if it was a nice or a strange one. GO DREWETT. Simran mimed pompoms at the young man as he went around once, and then twice, and then cast the charm. Now, if that was everyone, she figured a little bit more chaos probably couldn't hurt.
Big Probably.
Well, if anything went wrong, being married to an Auror did teach her a lot of healing charms. So, that in mind, she skated one round really quickly, and then tapped the next person she could reach once completing her orbit. "Tag, you're it!" OOC: Ending the lesson in approximately 36 hours, so have FUN, guys!
