| Term 14: November - February 2007 Term Fourteen: Sisters from Salem (Sept. 2060 - June 2061) |

11-30-2006, 12:28 PM
| | Charms: Lesson #1 The classroom is divided into two sections. One is a large area in which you will practice more advanced charms and the second is two banks of bench desks that face each other. The practice area is lined with cabinets and shelves. You see cushions, books, and other objects that are used in the course of mastering Charms for the OWL and NEWT exams. The desks look as old as Hogwarts and they are. You are standing in the very first classroom of this school. It is old and there is power that lingers in this space from every student who has entered here. The wood of the desks bear many scuffs, pits, even cravings. There are hole to hold your ink wells and a slot to lay down your quill.
You stop and look down the aisle the desks form to see the new Charms Professor. His robe and cloak are deep navy. He is seated at the ancient teacher's desk, his head bent over books and parchments. He looks up and see you, then he stands. He is a very tall wizard and he turns to write on the board behind his desk. You realize he is almost ready to begin and quickly take a seat. Quote: Charms Lesson #1
Thursday, November 30
4 pm ET / 9 pm GMT OOC: I may be a late. I forgot I have a meeting with my advisor this afternoon and the bus is scheduled to bring me at 4. (if it comes on time) I will be here as quick as I can, so don't panic. I am opening the classroom now. Come in, find a seat but please do not carry on long conversations. I will be here as quick as I can. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Neva Amos Graduated | Rock Away Blind | You Could Be My Silver Springs Blue Green Colours Flashing | Basically the Sun Neva put up her hand and asked obstinately. "Why are you taking points from Slytherin exactly? I failed to notices anybody speaking, unless thought is against the law now" She finished innocently.

"Lumos," Brandon repeated. Wow sort of a basic one but he didn't mind. He was more annoyed about the gryffindors talking and losing points.

Vince said,"Luumos. Lumoos!" It didn't work, maybe he had said it wrong.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Brekken Taylor | "LUMOS!" Hepzibah chanted enthusiastically. She knew this spell and could do it. In fact she was so excited about knowing something that she fell off her chair, "Oppsie daisy!" She regained herself and sat back down pretending nothing happened. She kept falling in this school. Quote: Neva put up her hand and asked obstinately. "Why are you taking points from Slytherin exactly? I failed to notices anybody speaking, unless thought is against the law now" She finished innocently. "Don't be silly dear," she cackled. "Talking against the law, I mean seriously HAHAHAHA!" |

Serena shot a glare towards the Gryffindors. How hard was it to grasp the concept that this was a class? Leave the talking for after the lesson.
Still fuming, she turned back towards the teacher with a tight smile. "Lumos." She repeated. The spell was rather simple and he was correct. Most should be able to perform the spell on their first try. It was, after all, a very basic spell.

"Now, without you wand, we will move through two spells today. These are basic spells. I would expect many if not all to success with them on the first try. The first is "lumos".

Lumos? Jacques had been able to do Lumos for the past ten years. He frowned and sat back, watching the others try to learn the charm.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tahir Kovac Khatri First Year | Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now Bucky winced when Professor Tolkien took 10 points away from Gryffindor. Muttering obscenities under her breath, so only her ears and maybe Hepzibah's could hear, Celestina scribbled a threatening note on her piece of parchment before scratching it out. No need to have someone find out how she was planning someone's death.
"Lumos," she muttered between gritted teeth, completely oblivious to the enthusiastic person falling beside her. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Isabella "Izzy" Wright Third Year | "Lumos" Brianna repeated after the professor. She thought back for a second and remembered reading the spell in a book once. A smile broke upon her face as she waited for the lesson to continue.

Vince tried again, with his wand he said, "Lumos!" He wondered what it would do. Did it work?

Brandon pulled out his wand and did the flick. He could easily do this spell so he wasn't worried for when they had to try.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Casper Scouten Fourth Year | "Lumos," muttered Jeremiah softly, and watched as his wand ignited to procure a small, yellow light bobbing on the wand tip.
He watched it with a bored expression. He had learned this at Durmstrang a long time ago.
Then he heard the strange witch who was visiting their school attempt the spell - very loudly. He turned to watch her rather than the light on his wand, and saw, surprisingly, Bucky sitting beside her. Jeremiah raised his eyebrows as 10 points were taken from Gryffindor of her fault, and watched her angrily cast the lumos spell.
Finally, he turned around, to notice they were supposed to just practicing the wrist movement. Jeremiah put out his wand and flicked his arm carelessly in the air, completely relaxed. Again and again he did it, until he bored of this also. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sini Sarah Snider Second Year | Following the Professor's lead, Sini gave a quick flick of her wand without mentioning the spell itself. She tried the motion again and again, she was so excited to be learning her first charm, it was going to be wonderful. |

After being instructed to, Athena picked up her wand and made the motion of the spell, keeping her mouth tightly pressed together so she would not say the words.

Emily was elated. I can't believe I earned my house some points! She completely understood that the Professor's attention was directed elsewhere, as it should have been. Although, he could pay more attention to the annoying lady from Salem....
She practiced the flicking motion and thought it felt very natural. She couldn't wait to use the words now.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Seth Moore First Year | Ali's Apprentice | | SuperEvilAwesomePanda! Brittany chanted "Lumos" with the rest of the class. She, had of course already learned this spell so Britt wasn't much concerned.
Then, doing as the teacher instructed she picked up her wind and twirled it (although the twirling was for her benifit) then Brittany carefully watched the teacher.

"Ohhhh I smell jealousy. Have a piece of candy," she handed the moody girl a lemon flavoured one and then removed her wand to practise the movements in sync with the class. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Natasha (Tasha) Jonelle Lundren Second | Tasha lifted her wand lazily and flicked it. Without a word said, the tip of her wand glowed bright. She stared at the light, and quickly extinguished it before she lost more points for doing something else.
