"Ahh, yes. Splinching. I had a feeling that would be one of the first, if not the first, topic to be brought up. The thing that's important to remember about splinching, though, is that it can easily be prevented if...one, you learn the proper way to apparate, and two, you keep in mind that concentration is the name of the game," Bella said, with a nod. "That's exactly what we'll be getting into later on, too."

He had a tendency of doing that whenever he was nervous.

"Very good. Very good, indeed. As a matter of fact, the textbook definition of apparition is 'An advanced spell used by fully trained witches and wizards to disappear from one place and appear almost instantly somewhere else," she stated. "It is extrememly convenient, and I want you remember two key points I just made, class. One being that apparition is to be done by fully trained wizards and witches, and the other being that apparition takes you from place to place almost instantly."

"We'll be working on concentration today, so hopefully by the end of the lesson, you'll feel loads better about that," she said, with a warm smile.

"Actually, it's highly likely to happen if you don't know what you're doing, or if you apparate incorrectly. That's not meant to frighten you, either. It's meant to make you aware of what can happen if you don't follow the correct apparating procedures," she explained. "Remember, though, that these lessons will teach you how to avoid things like that, and when you one day pass your apparition test, you'll prove that you do have what it takes."

He raised his hand, and said: "It's the fastest way to travel used by wizards in order to get form one place to the desired one..."

"Correct you are!" Bella exclaimed, pointing at the boy and giving him a good-natured wink. "It's fast, so it's popular among the wizarding community, indeed."

"Oh, dear. You really needn't worry, so. Nevertheless, splinching is curable, and there are people highly trained to, as you said, put people back together again," she said. "Howeverrrr, please don't focus on that part too much. Focus on believing that you can concentrate enough to not allow that to happen."

"Anna's momma...yes, dear. Aren't you the precious one," she said, patting the boy atop the head. "I'm glad the cracking sound was brought up. That's a sure sign that someone's apparated into the area. That can be useful, of course, when you're clearly not expecting someone. It's a good defense tool...be aware of what apparating sounds like, so you can aware of your surroundings."

"Some people, you see, are highly gifted in not only the area of Apparition, but also areas such as...say...defense. There are some who've trained themselves to, I guess you could say...sneak...from place to place," she explained. "These are people who are either using apparition for defense, as I said, or maybe they're your law enforcers or the such."

"Now then, class. If you'll notice, I've placed you into one of four different groups," she said, turning and indicating the chalkboard (ooc: see first post). What you'll need to do now is break off into these groups. I've brought some parchment and quills along with me today in case you've forgotten your's. If you need some, just come to the front of the room and retrieve what you'll need. Please don't take more than what's necessary, though, as your classmates may need the materials, too," she instructed. "Once you're in your groups, I want you to discuss the following topic with your fellow group members..."

She turned and flicked her wand, and a part of the chalkboard now read:

Reasons to Apparate

"It's obvious that we use apparation to travel quickly from one place to another. Let's see if we can make a list of other reasons we may need or want to apparate," she said. "You may begin, and I'll call for your attention when I need you to finish up."

OOC: I'll post again once I've given everyone a good bit of time to participate. No need to rush, but we're looking for creativity to award gold stars, too.
