"Spot on! Splinching is indeed when a body part unintentionally is left behind when you apparate. Often when splinching occurs you need to be taken to a healer for treatment." Aurora replied in answer to the girl in slytherin green robes.

Or would another student do so? Either way, Jude decided to leave his answer there.

"Very good! I'll elaborate more on the three D's and what each words means before we'll get to the main practice portion of the lesson." Aurora said with a glance over the boy that had spoken up in badger robes.

No need to add onto the three D's since he committed that to memory. "Splinching occurs during an unsuccessful Apparition. The amount splinched ranges but is usually easily repairable.... it's not exactly a pleasant experience." Caes added. Though he was lucky he didn't lose clothes or whole limbs unlike some other testers he previously tested with.

Turning to the tall older boy Aurora nodded knowingly "Correct! Whenever someone splinches themselves its never pleasant, and can in some cases even be a bit frightening like if you loose whole limbs like an ear or a foot. You can also loose just a strand of hair. The degree you splich ranges from minimal to big but most injuries can be repaired by a healer." She got reports of splinching incidents daily and some could even be life-threatening.

Splinching is what happens when you're not concentrating enough. It hurts a lot, and it can be dangerous if you leave a lot of your body behind."

Focusing on another girl as she spoke up Aurora shot her a smile. "Very good! Spot on! You've got a good idea of what the three D's means for apparating and why you need to be focused, determined and have an a clear idea of where you want to go or in the worst case suffer splinching which can in severe cases be life-threatening."

Don't think about neon pink polka dotted dragons! In his next breath...his school bag began slowly lifting up off the ground beside him and Atlas' fingers fidgeted even more rigorously with his metal matchsticks to try and refocus his attention.

Please...don't...please stop....stop stop stop....stopstopstopstop...

Aurora's eyes flittered over one of the boy's that was keeping silent. He didn't seem to want to engage in the theoretical part, maybe the boy was more for practicing? She was about to look for more hands when the boy's bag started to levitate from off the ground. Aurora didn't say anything, but she would if the bag levitate higher up or started to attack other students.

After throwing glance down at her watch and trusting that Healer Mancini was helping the two boys it was high time to summarize and get the practice portion started.

Clapping her hands together to get attention Aurora lectured."Good answers everyone! The three D's of Apparition are Destination which means you have to have a clear idea of where you want to transport yourself. Determination means that you have to be extremely focused on apparating, you can't let any other thoughts distract you or you might splinch yourself. The last one is Deliberation which means that you have to follow through with apparating you can't change your mind mid apparition it can lead to bad splinching." While she had spoken the three D's had magically appeared in the air in shiny gold letters to in case anyone wanted to take notes.

"Splinching occurs when a witch/wizard apparates unsuccessfully, leaving a part of their body in their former location. To get splinched can hurt badly and be very unpleasant. How much or how little your splinch off varies, and can be just a strand of hair to a whole limb like say a hand. Most body parts that have been splinched can though be healed by a healer at St Mungos."

:::::

"Now let's get to the fun practice time! Now as you might have seen I've placed several rings on the ground over there that you can start to practice on to warm up. The idea is to apparate into and out of the rings and from one ring to another ring if you are confident by using the three D's. There is no incantation for apparating just a simple turn on the spot." When she spoke Aurora had gestured to the rings and then levitated one ring over to the ground in front of her as she demonstrated how she apparated into the ring and out of the ring.

"If you feel confident and want a challenge you can also try apparating from lily pad to lily pad on the lake water. So get practicing on apparating! If you need a hand just signal with you hands or call me over. Have fun!" Aurora gestured out to the big green lily pads set up in an obstacle fashion.

OOC: Main practice time! You can have your students try to apparate from ring to ring which is the easier course or from lily pad to lily pad out on the lake water. Please don't rp any severe splinching. Be creative, if you want to have your student struggle with apparating and falling into the water or so on then go for it! Aurora will be around. You'll have have until friday/saturday to rp practicing apparition before i'll wrap up the lesson.
