"I love magic" Set said. set had compltely missed her question (OOC: before writing my post). "Yes, I belive so!" Set said to her.

She took a steadying breath and pointed her wand at the chest again. Alohamora! she said confidently and with perfect diction. The lock clicked open quietly. Cadence was begining to think that she was rather good at magic. She looked at the Charms book laying open on their desk and studied the spell to lock the chest again. She pointed her wand at the lock, steadied herself, and said Colloportus!, and the chest was locked again.

He decided to look in his uncle's book to look for other things he cold do to that lock. "Let's see..... um....no, not that.... oh! See here. Tergeo!. That looks like a good one for this rusty, dirty old lock." Set said as he pointed his wand at the lock and said, "Tergeo!". The rust on the lock began to syphan off! It was amazing!.

Ian caught wind of a couple students using spells other than Alohomora, and immediately made his way over there. "Please stick just to the Alohomora charm for now. While it is clear to me that you two are fairly advanced in charms for your age, I would like you to just use the Alohomora charm. If you need to re-lock the lock, then just do it manually like everyone else. Thank you."

After that, he returned to his classroom rounds.

What was inside of it, treasure? Maybe there were more than a dozen of candy! If that would happen, then Charms would totally be his #1 favorite class of all time. Cam nodded and took out his wet-tipped wand, wiping the saliva away with his robes. Yes, now this would be his moment of all moments!

Like Peter Pan, he put his hands on his hips while tapping his feet in a rhythm. The action music for the day was one of those old groovy disco ones the muggles had a hundred years ago. "Yeah, yeaaaah, yeah!" he said and then mixing it with his own beat. "Choo choo cootie shot, train! Choo choo train. Yeaaaah, yeaaah, yah!" His voice was horrible and wondered if everyone's eardrums were broken already.

With his hands he started to create to do weird mumbo jumbos like violently karate chop the air into pieces, if that was possible. He was the spotlight, all eyes were on him (not really) and he continued with the tapping. And then he did old dance moves like the "light bulb" and the "sprinkler". Now for the reaaaal magic part.

His wand was gripped in his hand as to have better control. "HALOMARAH!" Nothing came out of his wand, not even a sound of a whoopee cushion. That was worse than Firsitan! "ALOHAMORRE. ALOYAMORA... ALOHO-MORA. Cam was violently flicking his wand all over the place, not caring if he suddenly lost his grip and made someone lose their eye. The last one, he knew it was right but still nothing. Had his wand failed him?!

Cam turned away from Jake and looked at his wand, in a sad face. "Awwe, it's OK wandie. We'll get it next time? My little wand... so adorable and... maybe you have boo-boo. I'll make it better!" And he secretly smooched his darn wand, hoping no one had seen it.

"Your turn Bakers!"

Ian turned around to find a young man....dancing, although he wasn't quite sure it could be called dancing, with his wand. He swiftly made way over to the young man and his partner, his cloak flapping behind him. "Please! Be careful! I don't want anyone losing an eye during my first lesson!"

Ian waited until the young man calmed down before adding, "The pronunciation is Aloe-hu-more-uh. If you pronounce it that way, it should work!"

"Alright, here goes nothing," she said, taking a deep breath and then focusing on the trunk. "Alohimora," she said, slightly mispronouncing the word. She stared at the chest, fully expecting it to fling right open. When it didn't, she put one hand on her hip and frowned, clearly disappointed. "Copernicus, what did I do wrong?" she asked.

Ian was about to go help the Gryffindor Prefect, but she had sought help from her fellow classmate. Students helping students. How wonderful! He made sure to keep an eye out, though, just in case she had further troubles.

Now it was her turn. Juniper pulled her wand out and tapped it against her right hand, staring the chest down. She just had to convince herself that she would be able to do the charm, and she would be able to. Right? "Alohomora?" Juniper pointed her wand at the lock. She was as confident as she was going to get. But... nothing happened. The lock didn't even look like it was going to pretend to open. Juniper couldn't help but let her shoulders slump as she motioned for Becca to take her turn again.

She was a failure.

Ian made way over to the Ravenclaw pair and watched as the older one attempted the charm. "If I may make a suggestion," he began, "Do try to say the spell with more conviction! Be confident in your magical abilities!"

Now lets hope she didn't mess this up. It couldn't be as hard at that levitating charm they did last term....which probably would have been easier if she wasn't so easily distracted.
She pointed her wand at the chest and said,
"Alohormora!"
SHe thought sh eheard a faint click sound but she wasn't sure. She tried to open the chest and check, but it seemed to be still locked.
"Well that failed."

"Watch your pronunciation," he offered. "You were quite close, but it seems you added an extra 'r.' Try it again! Alohomora."

He cold tell she was getting upset over his obvious anger at the horrible insident involing a mind-reading proffessor and a silent converation. "it's ok, i can ask about the charm if it makes you feel better." He raised his hand. "Proffesor, is it alright if, once I've prefected this charm, I could move on to something else. that deals with the lock, of course!" Set asked, (extemly, awesomely, superly, fantasticly, running-out-of-"ly"-wordsly) politley!

"I admire your eagerness to do more, young man, but please, just stick with the Alohomora charm for now," Ian replied.

It's possible," she answered, suddenly feeling like she'd lost half her senses. What was it with her and school this year? It was like she'd gone back a few years instead of forward. Maybe the classes were just getting a little tougher, though. Yeah, that had to be it. When Copernicus placed his hand over hers, she froze for a moment and then glanced over at him. Copernicus was shy and seemed so insecure. It made her happy to know that he was finally opening up to her. Now maybe she could actually eat her jelly slugs instead of having to throw them all at him. "Okay, let's try it again," she said, pointing the wand towards the chest. "Alohimora," she said, still slightly-mispronouncing the word. Nothing.

It seemed the Gryffindor girl was still having some pronunciation issues, but she was SO close! Ian decided to let her figure it out or to wait for her to ask a question.

Listening to Cameron's varied versions of the spell, Jake suddenly panicked. What was the spell?! It was his turn... NUUUUUU!!!!!

"Erm... Alomahora..." nothing... "Aloe-vera"... nothing... "Hello-my-aura..." still nothing. Then he heard some older student say it.

Pointing his wand at the chest, Jake said clearly, "Alohomora!"

And his wand worked.

Kinda.

It turned out he had it the wrong way round for starters, which was embarassing enough. But, worse still... SPARKS!!!!! Red sparks shot out of the end, hitting his hand and making him drop it, where the sparks propelled it across the floor.

"Ouch," he said, looking at his hand. No damage, really. And it was a good job he sat at the wall, for the rocket wand sparks only hit said wand.

"Erm," Jake murmured. "Your turn, I'll be right back."

And off Jake went to find his wand.

Ian chuckled as one of the younger boys was going on shouting about plants and some other gibberish, and chuckled even more as the boy's wand worked, other than the fact that he had it backwards. "Try holding it the other way," he said, still chuckling. "You've almost got it!"

On that note, Ian bellowed a suggestion to the class. "Remember, class, the incantation is Alohomora! When you say it, say it with conviction! Confidence is key when casting spells!"

"Wanna do this thing?" she asked casually. "You'll get to practise lots," she added, hinting at her reluctance to try the charm.

Ian smiled at Daphne, who had spoken to him earlier. "Don't be afraid to give it a try," he said. "The only way you'll be able to get back your confidence with spells is to keep practicing! Practice makes perfect." Yeah, it was cliche. Oh well.

Nothing happened except the lock wiggled. "what am i doing wrong?" Twilight felt tears coming int her eyes. How come she could get doors to open when she didnt want to but now not.

He turned to find a girl who appeared on the verge of tears. "Now now, miss, don't be discouraged if you don't get it on your first shot! Even I have trouble with charms sometimes! Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll get it in no time!

But then Qaz returned, and she was more than willing to let Daphne go first. "Oh... well... erm..." she stuttered. Qaz looked quite depressed, and she didn't have to heart to make her go.

"OK," she conceded, holding her wand in front. Luckily, the charm didn't require a lot of movement, so she should be fine. "Alohomora!" she said, and the lock glowed and shook a little, but didn't budge. She turned a deep shade of red. This was a spell most first years should do, and Daphne was not able to cast it. "You should go," she frowned, eyes on the ground. Qaz couldn't be as pathetic as she was.

"Just keep at it, Daphne! I know you can do it!"

Ian watched with a smile on his face as his first lesson, for the most part, seemed to be running without a problem. He clapped his hands together to get the attention of the class.

"Has everyone had a chance to practice the charm and to cast it successfully? If so, I think it's time to move on to the second portion of our lesson. If not, it's not a problem at all! Just let me know and you all can continue practicing."
