He does magic without talking for crying out loud!!

"Nice blanket." Yes, she was serious. His blanket was silver and really a blanket... it'd fit a troll though. "Er.. would you please make this tiny thing into my scarf again?" She asked with an intention of trying again but..

Professor Kingsley started talking about other spells. The little girl quickly grabbed her quill and started writing down those new spells they were supposed to practice later.

Hmm.. more ideas for staying warm. Other than clothes maybe? The idea struck her mind almost instantly. "Fire!" And before anyone would think she was on fire or something she added, "Can't we transform water into fire? Or wood into a fireplace? Or use our wands like a torch?"

Professor Kingsley blinked rapidly at her enthusiasm. "Fire, yes, exactly. And that will be what we turn to next. Lots to talk about."

Alice picked up her pen and underneath where she had written the Vestis Vellus spell, she wrote down what the Professor had put on the board.

SPOILER!!: Alice's Parchment

"Perhaps learning how to transform something into a jacket?" Alice suggested, figuring jackets were always useful when it came to keeping one warm. "Or perhaps learning how to transform something into earmuffs?"

"Those are good ideas, and, because vestis vellus gives you, essentially, a rectangular piece of material, with some focus, you can use the same spell to create a warm cloak."

He paused, flicking his wand at the board, adding caput under vestis and the rest. "Caput combined with the others creates hats or other head coverings."

Amy raised her hand "Maybe learning to transform something into socks" whenever she was cold she put on some warm socks, so that'd be a useful spell to know.

SPOILER!!: Amy's parchment

Preston nodded. "That would also be good, though we won't touch on that today."

"Fire is essential to survival if you find yourself stranded in the wilderness or without other forms of power or warmth. Incendio which conjures fire is best sustained when it actually has something to burn. It needs fuel. Bluebell flames do not need fuel, but they also generate no heat."

Preston drew a line down the chalkboard with his wand, sectioning off the attire from a blank spot. Adding focalia with another flick, he turned to the class.

"Most of you are already familiar with incendio. It has been taught in previous terms, you sometimes use it in other classes, and so forth. Some of you don't, and so I'll work with you. But what we'll be doing first, is conjuring firewood, so that the fire has something to sustain it. After all, if you were stuck outdoors in a clearing with just snow, there would be nothing to burn."

Clearing his throat, Preston slashed his wand in an 'X' in the air. "Focalia."

Appearing on the floor of the classroom was a bundle of firewood, dry and perfect for burning.

"A simple incantation with a simple x wand movement. The trick is the concentration to make sure the wood is suitable for burning. Dry. Bundle up. We are headed outdoors to practice this spell because after you conjure, you'll be setting it on fire and the classroom simply isn't suited for that."

With that, Preston moved to the door, pulling out a box of conjured hats and gloves for those without their winter wear.

OOC: RP notes, bundling up, etc, etc and then move over to this thread.
