Jenna made sure to write everything down quickly. Accio and Silencio she knew ver well, and only did them a few times. She drew her quill towards her, and raised her wand.

"Afficio quill!" The quill glided off the table smoothly and landed on the floor in front of her.

"Accio." She murmered, and the quill flew back to where it started from. She smiled despite herself, but immediately hid it with a face of concentration.

Christy wrote the directions for each spell in her note book and started practcing. She started with Accio and Levitation Charm. She had been successful in her Levitation Charm, but Accio was more conplicated. She made some mistakes but kept practcing.

Sunny wrote the new Charms down and then began practicing. Accio and Afficio were relatively easy for her, with small objects at least. She was able to perform the levitating charm on her feather as well. She frowned when she saw the silencing charm. How was she supposed to practice that one? She looked around and didn't see any animals in the class, so she continues to practice the summoning, banishing, and levitating charms instead.

Lauren quickly copies the charms down, while repeating them in her head. "Ok, Time to practice" She looked around the room and saw many students practicing the charms. She quietly took out her want and place her quill down in front of her. "Wingardium Leviosa!" She said, and as she did, her quill began to float. She gave a quick smile, and then moved on to the next charm.

I write down the Charms that Professor Zoa had on the board and pull a few things out of my bag to practice on.

I give the Accio Charm a try first.

"Accio Book" The book kind of quivers for a moment, but stays on the desk.
"Accio Book!" I say again. This time it makes it half way to me and drops. "Well, that was a little better." I put the book back in starting place.
"Accio Book!" This time it makes it all the way to me and I smile at my progress.

Next I try the Levitation Charm, one I'm familiar with already, but want to refresh.

"Wingardium Leviosa" I say as I do the wand movement. My parchment pack hovers slightly off the desk and raises up a little at a time. Happy that it works better every time I say "Finite Incantatem" and the parchment goes back to it's spot on the desk.

I continue on with the Charms and am happy that I get each one after a few tries.

Silvie looked around. She felt so confused! She read the instructions in the board and wrote them down in her parchment. After taking out her wand, she stared at a book sitting on top of a shelf. "Accio book", she said a bit unsure, but when the book came flying to her hands, she grinned and kept practicing.

Anna took a seat near the back of the class, taking out her quill and some parchment for note taking. Glancing around the room she looked for someone she knew reletivly well. No luck. She didn't know many people since it was her second year at school and was too shy to introduce herself. Sighing to herself she looked down at the blank peice of parchment on her desk and writting her name on it.

She tried to reach back into last year to recall some of the charms she had learned. "Accio, Affio..." but they had all been said before. "No need repeating them. She thought to herself listening to the professor.

Coping down the list of spells she reached into her bag and pulled out her wand. Smiling to herself she ran her finger down the list of spells once more. "I guess i'll start out with..." She paused to think of the one she wasn't very good at. "..Accio." She decided.

Gripping her wand she muttered the words with a flick towards her spell book. She sent it flying across the room, clattering to a stop on the other side of the room. The pages seemed to be a bit wrinkled.Going over to pick it up she thougt to herself, "that one will need a bit of work" She thought and attemped once more.

Summer takes out her wand and trys to use teh Accio spell to bring the quill forward. "Accio Quill!" she says as it lays there. "Ok Summer you can do this, try it again" She thinks to herself. "Accio Quill!" she repeats this time with the quill comming flying at her.

Amaris managed to write several notes in her parchment in a rather untidy scrawl. She smiled at the Professor and nodded. Charms was one of her favorite classes. It was also one of the few things she was actually good at. Care of Magical Creatures was the other one. Amaris had always had a love for magical creatures and nonmagical as well. Well, all except mice. Making a mental note to visit the animal hospital Professor Dainsie was in charge of Amaris patted her robes as if looking for something.


A humming sound was coming from the top of the Gryffindor girl's head. Ama smiled and took off her hat, pulling from inside it a lilac pigmy puff. She placed it on her desk as the little fur ball made noises showing his content state at being touched and handled.


"All right, Booger," she whispered and pulled out her wand. "I'm not going to hurt you. Don't worry."


Deciding that she would start with the easiest of Charms, the girl cleared her throat.


"Wingardium Leviosa," she muttered and did the proper wand movement by swishing her wrist from left to right and flicking once quickly.


Booger the pigmy puff began to levitate first a little shaky but then quite smoothly. Amaris let it hover for about three feet from her desk before slowly letting the creature down. Amaris quickly picked up Booger and stroked it, to make sure he wasn't too frightened of his latest experience.

Heshasa copies down the spells on the board. Taking out her quill and wand she points and her quill and says Afficio quill. The quill just lays there staring inenly at it she says again Afficio quill this time the quill slides under the chair in front of her.

Excited at her success she quickly galnces at the board Accio she thinks. Ok she said quietly. Accio quill, the quill just sat there and did not move. After three more failed attempts the quill came flying back to her and gratefully she decided to try levitating it.

Wingardium Leviosa the said under her breath. Swishing and flicking her wand she was excited to see that at once in rose into the air. She let it down with a thump and moved on.

Silencio...hmmm. Heshasa took a mouse from a near by box and jabbed at it poking in in the eye.Opps blushing she tried again sliencio. She mouse squeaked louder than ever. Getting frustared she spoke clearly and strongly jabbing just right. The mouse fell slient and tried to bite her hand that was lying on the table.

Smiling to herself she replaced the mouse and continued to practice the rest of the charms some more.

Jessica quickly jotted down some notes, then practiced the levitation charm. As she was levitating her quill, she rememberd the previous term. She had been able to levitate a chair. She pulled her chair out and practiced the spell on that. Her first few tries were pathetic. After her 6th try, she finally managed to get it 2ft. off of hte ground. Three times she acheived this, and decided to go onto something harder. She placed several spell books from her bag onto the chair and continued to practice the spell.

If her memory wasn't failing her, she could remember that she had some trouble the previous year with the silencing charm. She put her books and chair away, and retrieved a bird from its cage. She jabbed her wand at the animal, several times before the birds cawing faded. She tried again and again, having trouble. Getting frusterated, she took a deep breath to calm her senses. After a few more tries, she finally made progress.

Pacilla sat in her seat, carefully taking some neat notes on all that they had said. Unfortunately, she didn't remember much of what they had learned last term so she couldn't answer the question and was glad for a review. She wrote down the charms and wondered which she should practice using first. Since she didn't have much of a preference, she thought she'd practice "Wingardium Leviosa".

She pulled a quill out of her bag and placed it neatly on the desk. Raising her wand, she cleared her throat, and quietly muttered "Wingardium Levi -" She paused, turning red, she forgot how to say the last part of the charm. She reread the charm and made sure she had it all memorized and took a deep breath and started again. "Wingardium Leviosa!" She said, but forgot to do the 'swish-and-flick' motion, and only did a 'swish-and-poke'. Oh, goodness, I've got to work on that more... She tried a couple more times and finally had it near perfection, and then she started trying to summon her quill towards her...

Taking a leaf from Amaris Chaos' book (who would have thought? ), Nadia reached for her bag pocket to take a fluffy, pinkish-voilet ball of furr that was her new Pygmy Puff, of the name Pufflespuff but it was Puffles for short. As soon as her hand had reached for the creature, Nadia found the creature had its mouth already attatched to her hand. By the look of it, trying to eat Nadia.

"Aren't you a bit small to be a depredator?" Nadia asked, frowning at the creature and placing it on the desk. With a flick of her wand, Nadia had pushed the creature aside with Afficio, and as it reached the wall of the classroom, Nadia performed the Summoning charm with the same gesture to drag it back before it fell. She commented with some content, "What do you say, Puffles? Not bad, eh?"

The little creature looked somewhat winded to say the least. At some point, not as much as Nadia made Puffles hover over her but as she let the hairball fall back down and therefore watching the creature's expression of fear at said fall, Nadia started to get concerned if this would be considered animal cruely. Worried also because of the animal health ('Yeah, like you care...'), Nadia let it get away without any more of that experimenting and staying with Silencing Charms, at least with it.

Her Silencing Charms had improved since her first year, she must admit. At this point, even if the Pygmy Puff made little to no noise on its own (unless it ate), she was able to perform a whole-body silence charm. Even if Puffles made another type of noise, like, er, walk with rubber shoes Nadia could have performed for it, nothing would be heard.

Kelli coppied down the notes up on the board and started practicing them. "Wingardium Leviosa" she said pointing her wand toward a feather she had. Nothing happened. She tried again, "Wingardium Leviosa" the feather raised off the table about an inch. "Finally", she thought. She practiced it a little more before trying Accio.

Christy pulled out some books from her bag and started practcing Accio Charm. She flicked her wand towards the book;

'Accio Book' nothing happened. She tried again but the effect was the same. She tried doing it with her quill. Still nothing...She returned again to her book..'Accio Book!' This is not working... Christy thought. She re-read her notes again and tried again.

'Accio book!' the book started moving but it stoped before it could reach Christy's hands. She tried a a few more time until she reached perfection. The Accio and Levitation Charm were good, so she went to the next ones.

Banishing: Afficio, wand motion: flick towards desired object
Silencing: Silencio, wand motion: jab at desired object...

'Hummm...I think I'll start with the Silencing one' she said to herself. The Silencing Charm was harder, but she used to see her mother using it in their old Fwooper, so it couldn't be soo difficult. As she scanned the room, she saw a little mouse..."Petrificus Totalus!" and the mouse froze like a rock. Christy saw a couple of cages near the door..."Accio cage!" nothing happened...she tried again and the cage came flying slowly to her. She grabbed it with a smile and put the mouse inside it. 'Finite Incantatem' and the mouse started screeching inside the cage. "Silencio" but the lil' one didn't stop...

Roma took notes of the name of the charm and it's movements. She took out her quill and set it before her. It was a very easy lesson. Too easy for her fourth year, in fact. She took out her wand and pointed it the quill. "Wingardium Leviosa," she said with the swish and flick motion of her wand. The quill slowly and steadily started to rise off of the table. She took it about a foot away from the desk before letting it go down again. Well, that was awfully easy.

Ozzy took out his quill, some ink and his Charms book. He scribbled down some notes before deciding to practace the spells on the black board. "Wingardium Leviosa". He said out load once to make sure he had pronounced it right. he placed his quill on the desk and pulled out his wand. "Wingardium leviosa!" He said as he gave his wand a swish and flick and directed his wand towards his quill. The object floated 5 feet in the air before he let it fall neatly on his desk. He smiled and took some more notes before trying out the other spells listed on the board.

Christy kept trying the silencing charm on the mouse. But it always went wrong. She wrote her mistakes and review her notes and books.

jab at desired object...jab at desired object...jab at desired object she repeated to herself. Concentrate Christy.... she did the right wand move and said "Silencio!" the mouse stoped screeching, but after a few secondes he started screaming again.' I was almost there!' she said to herself. She kept trying...sometimes she grabbed the wand too firmly or too softly. She needed balance. The charm was getting quite perfect, but she decided to advance to the next one.

Banishing: Afficio, wand motion: flick towards desired object...

'Finally...' she muttered to herself. She re-read the note a couple of times and practised the wand moving. Then she turned to her book..."Afficio!" the book moved a few milimetres away. Well..that's a start...

"Afficio!"

"Afficio"...

"Afficio"...

It was going very well. But the distance was always the same. flick towards... 'Ok, Flick towards the object. You will move you lil' book!! '

"Afficio!" the book stood in the same place. 'You must be joking...' she said to the book. 'Let's try again'

"Afficio"..."Afficio!" "AFFICIO!" the book didn't move. It looked like a rock. 'Well...scream with the book won't help' Christy said to herself. concentration..

"Afficio!" YAY! finally she reppeled the book, he flew mettres away from her. Christy was smiling at her accomplishment.

Ginny bit her lip softly, fiddled with her wand a bit, and then decided to try the spells. She copied them down from the board quickly, and then started to try them. She sighed in despair, with them not working.

Ginny frowned slightly, and then tried again, I will Not give up! She thought to herself as she picked up her wand once more to try again.

Birdy giggled to herself, finger to her lips in a futile attempt to stiffle the nosie. Her eyes were on the ceiling where her ancient runes textbook was hovering six feet above her head. Her ink bottle was wobbling dangerously in midair, climbing up towards her teetering book. Charms was a good subject for Birdy, it didn't have the strict atmosphere of transfiguration and was so much more fun.

A whistle went off in Birdy's coat pocket. It was nothing out of the ordinary and she was hardly ruffled as she focused her attention on her rising ink bottle. Then, a plume of flame from the pocket shot up dangerously close to Birdy's left cheek.The book fell with a clomp on Birdy's toe. With a yelp, she dropped her wand to cradle it, and the inkwell smashed to her desk, spraying her face with violet splotches. The fire turned pink, then frizzled out as soon as it had started.

She sat, dazed for a moment, with a look of utter puzzlement on her face. Then, she gave a high laugh, rocking back and forth on her chair with the hillarity of the situation. Wiping tears from her eyes, Birdy reached into her coat and pulled out a roughly carved wooden owl the size of her thumb. She raised her wand, "Afficio" The owl skidded to the end of the desk and hovered for a moment before- "Accio"- it made a point turn and flew back into her outstretched palm. Pleased with having mastred the charm after four years at Hogwarts, she raised her hand and started again.

Noel copied down the information on all the charms and then she drew her wand. She managed to banish a piece of old parchment completely, but her quill ended up in tearing itself in half when she tried to summon it. Charms had never been her strong suit but she was rather impressed with her own banishing charm. She continued to practice summoning.

Kate had written down the instructions on the board and with learning the swish and flick movement in Transfiguration she decided to start out with the Levitation Charm. Kate placed her book in front of her and practiced her wand movement, then on the last one she called out "Wingardium Leviosa" and the book hovered quite nicely above her desk. She brought the book down and then decided she might try the Summoning Charm. She walked to the end of the room and pointed her wand at her book. She flicked her wand and called "Accio Book". The book hovered at the desk and then flew at her at blinding speed. Kate ducked from the book before it hit her at high speed. The book hit the wall behind her and fell to the floor. Kate felt embarrassed at the noise. She smiled and quickly grabbed her book. She decided to try again. She knew she needed to try and control it.

roxana was looking all around this was her first time in charms class.She put her quill down and decided to try to the Banishing spell. She saw Christy do the spell. she tried it
"Afficio!"

"Afficio"

she feelt that she wasn't getting it she tried again...
"Afficio!"

"Afficio" ...
she looked around to see if any of her fellow students that mastered the bashing spell were willing to help her on the bashing spell.

Lily raised her wand anfter copyin down the directions on each spell.
"Accio"
Lily pointed at her bag that she had placed a few seats up.Her bag flew to her at an alarmin speed smakin her in the face."Ouch"she muttered as she rubbed the spot.Replacin the bag Lily tried again and did it right this time.With a nod to herself she moved on to the other spells.
"Afficio"Lily pointed at her bag once again this time to send it a few seats up.This time it worked great.Movin on she tried levitaion"Wingardium Leviosa"
Lily this time pointed at her kitten Artemis.Whom in turn levitated about a foot off the desk where she had been layin and watchin.
Lily smiled and lowered the cat whom in turn proceeded to meow at her in anger."Silencio"
Lily laughed at her kitten whom havin not herd it's voice any more curled up.
"Oh! I'm sorry Artemis,Ok I'll fix you up."Lily undid the spell and picked up her mad kitten."Sorry.I'll be nice and warn you first next time,"

"Accio spell book." Her spellbook came towards her.

"Okay." Jenna concentrated hard on the book, and the destination where she wanted it to go.

"Afficio book!" The book wiggled towards the end of the table.

"Okay, not bad, but I can make it smoother." Jenna murmered to herself and tried again.
