"As portkeys are highly regulated by the Ministry, they are quite beyond the scope of this class. However, we may be able to cover some of the basics should we have the time. The Packing Spell should be easy enough, however and was on my list."

"That might be doable, as well."

She stuttered, trying to remember the correct pronounciation. "Locomortis, I think?" Her brow furrowed, and she shrugged, hoping it was close enough. "And apparation! But I have to wait for that... Dead useful apparation is..." She trailed off, imagining popping into Switzerland, and taking a detour to Antarctica.
"It is Locomotor, which is very handy and another on my list. Aparition, however, is only taught to those students who are of or coming of age shortly and by a Ministry official trained in such instruction. It isn't really a charm so much as just a magical way of transporting yourself from one place to another."

But maybe something easy would help her learn how to use this stick of hers.
"I think we can all try that spell today, in fact," he smiled.

While she had her hand raised, she paused a moment and figured she asked the question that was on her mind, "I know we have a lot of charms already mentioned, but isn't there an enlargement charm of some sort that can make spaces bigger on the inside without revealing the charm on the outside, like a car or a tent or something. I'm just thinking that would be really cool to learn, too. Imagine the things you could do with that charm." Kerry smirked, an idea already popping into her mind.
"Such enlargement charms are advanced magic and beyond the scope of this class as it stands but, perhaps an advanced class could be arranged for those at NEWT level to discuss them. The disillusionment charm is also a bit tricky but, doable. We'll have to see how much time we have at the end of the term."

"Time turners are very special, highly regulated magical objects which enable the bearer to travel back in time. They are not a charm and won't be covered in this class, though you can ask the Librarian about checking out a book with all the information you would ever need about them.

"Now, everyone take out your wands and we'll try the Four Point Spell"
