Charms Class #1
 

Alex strolled in the classroom, giving the Professor a small nod as she entered. She looked around and noticed a lot of things, including a cage with twittering birds in it. She frowned for a moment and then quickly and gracefully moved through that rows of seats, all the way at the back of the classroom. She placed her bag underneath her chair and took a seat.

She grabbed her bag, ince again, and took out a piece of parchment and her quill. She was tempted to doodle on it, but she decided not to. Her wand was already out on her desk. Staring up at the Professor, she waited for instructions. Giving a large, but quiet sigh, she watched intently and half-interested as more students started filing in the classroom. She was hoping that Nadia would get there soon. Out of habit, she started tapping her figher lightly on the desk.

Christy entered in the Charms classroom. She take a seat at the front of the class. She need to be very concentrated. She took out her parchment, quill, book and wand. Then she scanned the room, there were mosly random items: spare quills, bits of parchment, old chairs, books of varying sizes, even an old desk with only three legs. There was also a large cage with many twittering birds in it, and a large crate, which was covered but smelled very good.

Caleb walks in and falls into a chair. He is worn out from his fight with Adz. Charms should help that. He began to look around. This was an interesting classroom. So many things to occupy his thoughts.

Just to prove caleb wrong, Adz walked in and sat down. Adz was very good at charms, and had been called a 'model student' at many times. This should be easy.
"Good morning professor" Adz chanted politely.

Alex watched as a Slytherin entered the classroom and had also heard the Gryffindor's comment about sucking up. "And yet, Slytherin seems to be ahead of Gryffindor," she snapped and turned her gaze back on the Professor. There was really no need for rude comments, besides saying "hello" is not really sucking up, it's more about being polite. She shook her head and wondered why was there the need for fighting and rude comments, when there were more improtant things to worry about outside of Hogwarts. They needed to be strong and united on the inside.

Adz smiled at Alex, with a thankful glance.
"I don't need to suck up caleb. I'm already smarter than you...." Adz didn't mean to brag - but he deserved that....

Martha walks into the classroom and takes a seat towards the front. She pulls out a few pages of blank parchment, her quill, and some ink, and also her wand. She then waits patiently for class to start.

Sarah entered the classroom, her heavy bag almost dragging her right shoulder down....she wondered where to sit...she made her way towards that Ravenclaw girl ,whose name she dint know.
She asked,"would u mind if i sit here?" indicating to the seat next to her

Nadia walked in and looked for a spare seat, soon dropping her things by the side of her house mate Alex, only to have where to feel uncomfortable. Sadly, not even a second after she set her bottom on said seat, she already was picking part of a conversation going on which was not the friendest and not to mention provocative from one Gryffindor students.

Not even the start of the class, Nadia though and she raised her hand, meaning to catch the professor attention and ask of her that she would put at end to this before it went out of hand.

Lauren entered the class with a warm smile on her face. She wasvery exicted to start this lesson. She took a seat, and pulled out a piece of parchement and a quill, waiting for the class to begin.

Caleb answered "Because this is the best school in the world!" with a big grin.

Alex gave a small nod to Nadia and watched her as she sat down. When hearing the Professor talk, she turned her gaze back on her. Raising her hand, she said: "Well, one of the main reasons would be because they are extremley useful at times and you can protect yourself with them. Also, they are useful when duelling with someone, whether it is a friendly duel or an actual one," she added.

With that she put her hand down and watched the other people raise their hands and give answers. She jotted things down at the same time, after all, you could never have too many notes. They will all be useful in the end.

Sarah thought exasperatedly,that this Gryffindor-Slytherin hatred wud never come to an end.
she thought how gud it was taht she was a Ravenclaw...she dint want all this rivalry stuff

Lauren raised her hand slowly. She wasnt sure if her answer was correct, or even close to something like that, but she thought it was worth trying.

"It is important because in the wizarding world, we may come acorss a situation when we need to do something particular that requires a charm or spell to complete it. Also, I believe some charms may be used for security purposes."

She made an uneasy smile, thinking her answer was a bit off.

Nadia thought she would choke ast the first response. Wasn't that the guy accussing people of being suck-ups?

Nadia raised her hand, "The brand of magic known as Charms include many spells which are essential to every day life activities to a wizard, life-saving spells even. Because it includes the properties of the elements, produces behavior not natural or inner to the objects it enchants, helps in the elaboration of magical objects and because it maybe deals with the most extensive of the list of spells in the science of magic, Charms must be only one of the most important branches in magic."

Sarah thought,she raised her hand
and finally said,"that Charms was important becuz withhout Charms Magical studies wud be incomplete"

Farina tried to slide into class as quietly as she could, she really didn't want to get Gryffindor into trouble for her tardiness but she had gotten lost on the way. Spotting Caleb, she quickly sat nearby him and tried to look attentive while resting her Quill on her parchment.

Since class had just begun, Martha looks up at the girl and nods her head 'Yes', and then turns her attention back to the professor.

Kate looked at the Gryffindor who answered first with a questioning look. "While I appreciate your sentiments toward our school, I was looking more for why it is necessary to study Charms in general."


Kate smiled at Lee's answer. "That's correct, Lee. 5 points to Hufflepuff. Charms is the foundation on which the rest of magic is built. Without a basic knowledge of Charms, all other study is essentially usless in the magical world. That is why almost every specialized profession requires a backround in Charms work, including aurors, healers and many more. Now, a question for the older students; who can tell me what we studied last term?


OOC: To the other people who answered: I'm not ignoring you, but Lee is the first one to answer correctly, so I am awarding him the points and responding to his answer.
