Jack practically skipped into the classroom, and stopping to say hello to the professor, he sat down in one of the front seats while getting out his quill and parchment.

"Hello there. I'm doing great. How are you? Are you ready for class today?"

Callie noticed Anna glancing at the sheet on the desk. "No, you may not remove that yet Anna." Callie teased. "Just in case you were fighting the urge." Callie winked. "Oh and good day to you, too. How are you doing?"

"Hello luv, how are you?" Callie smiled as she greeted the young Hufflepuff.

Callie watched a Hufflepuff boy walk in and immediately roll his eyes and snort. "Is something the matter today that you'd care to share with the class?" Callie glared. She was not going to put up with such rude behavior before the class had even started.

"I'm doing great, how about you?"

"Well I'm glad to hear that, let's just hope you're saying the same thing at the end of class."

Callie nodded, happy to see so many students entering class on time. "Hello dear. How are you?"

"If you'll just be patient," Callie addressed the class, "And we'll wait a few more minutes for our last minute stragglers."

Maddox chuckled and said, "Hmm oh i wonder who that could be." He pulled her hands down and looked up, his head touching her stomach. "Sit down please, before we get into trouble and lose more points." As she sat he kissed her check gently and said, "Good morning my love."





Maddox smiled and said, "Good thank you. And you?"

She gave the professor a nod." Of course i am. Im ready to learn something new." she said as she moved to put her hands together and crack them. she let the professor be as she was talking to all the students that were coming in.

Asteira saw Mari as she gave her a smile. She gave her a small wave as she didnt want to say anything. it seemed that class was going to start soon so she didnt want to get points taken away for talking during class. Wouldnt that be great.

Piper slowly entered the class room, relieved that she was not late, she saw some people she knew, but she opted for a seat near the back. She smiled at the teacher and then took her seat quietly.

Livvy smiled and glanced at Camira. "Hey. Got any other good spells for me to learn?" she asked, referring to their lesson thingy at the Dueling Arena the other day. Livvy hadn't seen Edward around lately, so all she could do was depend on Camira for lessons.

MJ smiled and blushed a little. "I know, I usually don't have gum, but i needed something to keep me awake." she told the professor and smiled. "I am well, and yourself?" she asked her.

MJ's eyes brightened up, she had missed her professor's when she had been at home. They seemed nicer than before and the charms professor didn't ignore her, and the professor seemed to be giving everyone a friendly greeting. MJ's smile continue to grow.


It's good to be back in school, back at home

"Now, now settled down. I know some of you are excited, but need I remind you that this is a classroom. I don't mind the quiet chatter before class starts, but can you please lower your voices or I'll have to ask you to all sit silently while you wait for your classmates."

Dominic was startled when the Professor picked him out and asked him if anything was the matter. Meh? He hadn't done anything wrong by sitting in the back had he? Surely sitting down wasn't a crime around here...

"Me?" said the fourth year quietly. "No, nothing I'd care to share with the rest of the class." except too many girls Weird.

Be patient, right. He could do that.

She laughed at him and gave him a noogie. "It's not my fault that you are so talkative." She sat down beside and stuck her tongue out at him. "So how are you?" she then asked, smiling.

Camira gave a nod. "Find me after class", she said quickly, before class officially started. She wouldn't want to get in trouble for talking.

"I'm excellent, thank you!" Astrid didn't even try to hide the excitement in her voice. She nodded and said, "Oh yes, Professor! This is my absolute favorite class."

"I'm good professor." she smiled. She looked around at how full the class was getting. "Wow this must be a very popular class." she thought

Xehanna walked in the classroom and sat at an empty desk in the middle of the classroom waiting for her friend to appear. she took her backpack off and walked up to the teacher. "Good afternoon Professor. I'm Xehanna. How are you today?" she smiled and shook the professor's hand.

Miranda sat down at one of the desks, she looked around the classroom ''wow every classroom is so differet'' she mumbled to herself. She took out her notebook and quill, waiting excitedly for the class to start ''yay i get to use my wand!'' she grinned

Livvy smiled and nodded her head. "I'll hold you to that," she said and then faced the teacher. She glanced around at the other students and felt a bit lonely once more. But oh well, she'd get over it.

Quietly, nervously, Raiden entered the Charms classroom. His first Charms class... he hoped it would go well. He found a seat as close to the front as he could get and settled into it, his usual bouncing gone. He was all nerves right now. But he was still grinning from ear to ear. No matter how it went, this class was bound to be an exciting one, that was for sure... and his foot, despite the stillness of the rest of his body, bounced above the floor. Short little Raiden didn't even touch the ground in this chair...

"Well, I trust you can control yourself then. I will not tolerate someone sitting rolling his eyes or snorting in my classroom. I'd would expect that you're more mature than that. I hope you'll prove this to me. I will be watching." Callie said as she clapped her hands and stood up tall, smiling at everyone.

"Welcome to your first Charms class of the term. Before we begin, lets review a bit for those new students who have never taken a charms class before. First off, I think we should start with the definition of a charm. Who can tell me what a charm is?"

Mariska looked over at Ludo as he came to a desk that was somewhat between her and Asteira, and she smiled as he straightened his tie. He was quite energetic, she thought. " Hello," She whispered as she waved to Asteira. She looked up and noted that the professor seemed to be waiting for more students, but Mari still kept her quiet voice. " I don't know, but I'm intrigued," She said, giving Ludo and Asteira a quick little grin.

The lesson then started, and Mari's attention was at the front immediately, her excitement plain to read on her face.

Livvy looked up and smiled. There was Xeh. "Hey Xeh," she said, waving at the girl. She then set her head on top of her desk and thought for a while. Boy, was she tired... and bored.

Seth looked back up at the professor and smiled charmingly. “I’m doing quite well, thank you. And might I just say that you are glowing today, Professor Hawkins,” Seth said, adding in the glowing compliment just for the heck of it. That’s what girls and women liked, right? Compliments? We’ll just have to wait and see about that….

And raising up his arm after he heard Professor Hawkins ask them a question about what a charm was, he stated, “Charms are a type of magical spell concerned with enchanting an object in a way that isn't normal for that object. Like changing a desk into a pig, for example.”

Astrid raised her hand and said, "Charms are a type of magic spell concerned with enchanting an object to behave in a way that isn't normal for that object. For example, the Summoning Charm brings an object to the caster. Charms is also something of a catch-all for spells that aren't Transfiguration."

Lucas raised his hand, "Charms is when you give something an unexpected property." he said proudly. He knew that one.

Demetria raised her hand. She didn't know much about charms but she figured she would give it a try. "A charm is like a spell, right? You can bewitch things to do stuff for you I know that."

Rachel smiled and replied, "A charm is a spell used to enchant and object and make it do things it wouldn't normally do." She quickly scribbled down the heading on her parchment and waited for the professor to resume talking.
