Rae bustled into her classroom, whistling. It was dreary outside, but the classroom fireplace was crackling merrily and the room was warm and bright. She covered her mouth to hide the smile, but there was no helping it. She propped teh door open and settled behind her desk to prepare for class and wait for the students to arrive.

Rose raised her hand again. "You can use 'lumos' to reveal your attacked and to possibly scare him or her or it off."

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 12:49 AM

Kay raised her hand. "Couldn't you use the Confundus Charm so that the attacker becomes confused, thus allowing you to escape?"

Evy · 05-14-2006, 12:51 AM

Evy raised her hand : "You can use spells that make your opponent unable to attack you, for example Expelliarmus or Impedimenta. You could also use Colloportus, to prevent your attacker from entering the room you're in."

Silver Knight · 05-14-2006, 12:53 AM

Serilda raised her hand and said, "You could Apparate, if you were old enough. Or you could use stupefy, levicorpous, colloportus if someone was running at you, shock spell, expelliarmus, sectumsempra if you absolutely had to, accio wand, wingardium leviosa, avis, oppungeo, rictusempra, petrificus totalus, and several other similar charms and spells to protect one's self from harm."

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 12:57 AM

"Excellent," Rae clapped her hands before shoving her non-wand hand back into her pocket. "Those are very good suggestions. I feel very confident that you all will manage to survive should you be attacked... well... it's a good start. I best not get carried away. Today we're going to learn a low-grade blasting charm. Why would I teach you a blasting charm?"

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 12:59 AM

Kay raised her hand. "So that we can blast an object that is impeding our path out of the way. The blasting charm can also be used the opposite way to block an attacker from reaching you."

Hermione_loves_Ron · 05-14-2006, 01:05 AM

Jamie furiously scribbled his notes down. He looked up to listen to the question about the blasting charm.

"Wouldn't it harm your opponet, and keep them from attacking you?" he asked, raising his hand. "So that they can't harm you and you can spare yourself a few seconds to get away or throw another charm or spell at them."

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 01:12 AM

"So the blasting charm can be used to create a path of escape, prevent the attacker from following you, and possibly be used to slow down your attacker. Very good." Rae nodded her head. "Does anyone know what the name of a blasting charm is?"

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 01:16 AM

Kay raised her hand. "It is the Reductor Curse and the incantation is Relashio."

missy-dancer-skater · 05-14-2006, 01:16 AM

marissa rote down notes and then looked around to see if andone knew the answer to what the professer had just asked.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 05-14-2006, 01:19 AM

"Can expelliarmus count as a blasting charm?" Jamie asked, pushing hair out of his eyes when he raised his hand. "Cos I know that it can cause a sort of blast. And I think I remember reading 'bout someone using Stupefy and wound up blasting a hole in his wall."

He beamed at his memory, he didn't often remember such things. "I know of a blasting curse, too, but I don't know the incantation and that's a curse, not a charm."

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 01:29 AM

"You're half right, Kay... the spell I'm thinking of IS the Reductor Curse, but the incantation is wrong..." She turned to Jamie. "Expellliarmus's primary purpose is to disarm. The blasting effect is a side-effect... but a useful one."

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 01:34 AM

Kay blushed and raised her hand. "Sorry, Professor Rae. The correct incantation is Reducto."

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 01:45 AM

"Perfect... five points for Ravenclaw. Reductor is a good curse to use when you want to move something out of your way, as well as when you want to divert attention from yourself or slow someone down. It's only purpose is to destroy, so to use the spell on a person might get you in serious trouble with the Wizengamot unless you are in dire danger. Are there any questions on Reductor?"

Hermione_loves_Ron · 05-14-2006, 01:47 AM

Jamie shook his head. No. No questions. The charm was fairly clean cut, though he couldn't help but be curious as to what it would do if used on a human. Raising his hand and poising his quill over his parchment, ready to jot down more notes.

"What kind of damage would it do if you used it on a human?" he asked. "It wouldn't kill them... would it?"

Davvy_Wavvy · 05-14-2006, 01:48 AM

Davina took some notes and scanned the page.She had taken alot of notes today.

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 01:49 AM

Kay shook her head 'no' and listened to Jamie's question. How thick can that boy get? Whoever gets hit with this curse will be blown to bits! she thought.

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 01:51 AM

"I suppose it would depend on where you hit the person. It would effectively destroy whatever it hits, as if a localized Muggle bomb had hit that spot. If you hit something vital, it might be enough to kill them."

Hermione_loves_Ron · 05-14-2006, 01:53 AM

Jamie's eyes widened and his eyebrows arched. Wow. He knew it blasted but he had no idea that it would destroy so badly. And so gruesomely. It was a wonder that the evil wizards didn't use that, instead of Avada Kedavra. He shivered a bit and decided not to write that down. It wasn't as if he'd forget it. His face turned white, a ghastly white and he quietly settled back against his seat.

Silver Knight · 05-14-2006, 02:07 AM

Serilda listened to the professor's words intensely as she jotted down more notes. Vital hits can kill, she thought. Dreadful thought.

demented_death_eater · 05-14-2006, 02:10 AM

All color had drained from Kay's face and she shakily raised her hand. "How would you know if this particular spell was coming at you and is there anything you can do to protect yourself?"

Cassirin · 05-14-2006, 02:13 AM

"Let's go ahead and get ready to practice this spell. I need everyone to get out your wand and assume your casting position that we learned last class. Come grab a pillow before you spread out and find your own space." She waited until they had found a spot in the room.

"Watch me, please. The motion is a sharp jab and outward motion from the center of your body outward on your wand hand side. The incantation is Reducto (re-DUC-to). Once you destroy your pillow, you may repair it with the simple incantation Reparo. Practice as many times as you need to. I'll move among you as you practice."

ooc: I have to go for now, but I'll be back to check on you.

Rave rolled her eyes and muttered so no one else could hear, "How about just get out the way of any spell sent at you by an enemy. Duh." Rave still hadnt forgiven Kay for spying on Ganymede.

She took a pillow and went to the left side of the classroom.

Julia stands up and grabs a pillow as instructed, then walks around and finds a place towards a back corner of the room. Watching the professor as she demonstrates, Julia takes a deep breath and concentrates. Reducto, she thinks, making sure she knows what exactly to say. She twirls her wand in her right hand for a moment, then sets her pillow on the floor.

Suddenly glancing over at a Slytherin girl and Kay, she lowers her eyebrows at the Slytherin girl. "Watch it, loser," she mumbles nastily to her, then mumbles other things quietly to herself. Hey.. isn't that my competition for the Quidditch match? Julia thinks to herself, pondering. She is! She is toterly going down. No one messes with my friends. She grins over at Kay, then turns back to her pillow, wondering if it is filled with feathers. That would be fun if they were.

Rave was just about to attempt the spell when she heard a small voice. Turning to the Ravenclaw girl who had spoken to her she said, "I'de watch who I'm calling loser kiddo." before turning back to her pillow and saying strongly, "REDUCTO!" The pillow didnt just burst, its exploded sending feathers in a ten foot circle around where it had exploded, covering herself and the Ravenclaw girl. One by one Rave picked the feathers off and smiled at the girl before repairing her pillow and getting ready to try again.
