Lucas loved Raiden's energy. The boy could bounce to London. "I don't mind getting wet either. It might be fun." He said with a giggle. He looked at the balloons along with Raiden. "I can go first." He said confidently.

He moved his balloon to the edge of the desk so he could concentrate on it. He pulled out his wand and "Wingardium Leviso" He swished and flicked. The balloon wobbled and slow lifted. "I did it!" He cried and with that the balloon came tumbling down. It burst on the edge of the table and splashed him and Raiden. "Oh Raiden I'm sorry." He said as he burst into giggles. He wiggled as the cold water seeped into his Ninja Turtles underwear.

Nathaniel had heard that Via and Freya were gonna be partners so he let that one go. "Not insane... just used to it." he said looking at his leg. "I've had lots of broken bones.." he said looking at her.


"I've had broken bones before. I'm used to the casts.he said looking around the room. He really wish his leg would stop hurting.And where in the world was Sophia?! he thought. "No, the three of us aren't working together. Want to be partners?" he said smiling at her.

It seemed surreal to Tino that both girls now had a hand on each of his arms, like their own superpowerforce, and were each pulling him to their own side with their tractor beam vision. "I . . ah. . . I," Tino continued to blabber, not having a precipitating social situation to fall back on for instruction. Was this the part where he had to chose sides? What if he chose the wrong side? What if one of these girls was the good, and one was the bad? What if his choice, in this very moment, determined his entire future in the fight of Good vs. Evil?

Tino decided, at this moment, that he much preferred his imaginary animal friends.

Oh no! One of them was taking action! The honey-haired girl was using the lesson charm to float the balloons over the heads of molasses-haired girl and another boy, apparent enemies of her clan. "Wait!," Tino cried, "No! These weapons are to be used for the good of mankind! I'll never let you! Arrrrhhhhhhh--" and he flung himself in front of Willow and Dominic, snatching the waterballoons out of the air.

Tino turned, balloons in hand and trying frantically to think of what he could do with them so they couldn't be used against anyone, ever, ever, again. No one would die this day on his account!

And then he stuffed them quickly down his shirt front and folded his arms triumphantly. His new figure was slightly confusing.

"Well, I think it was a good attempt." said Allie. "How many-"
Before Allie could finish her sentance, however, she was splashed by water.
Allie blinked, and wiped the water out of her eyes. She turned to Melinda, and started giggling.
"It's okay," she said. "It's just a little water...cold water...but still only water."

Dominic definitely should not have been surprised when hyper girl of course told him to mind his own business. He was about to retaliate with a witty comment of hiw own, when she moved onto another girl telling her to work with him. UGH! He was not going to do; the whole point of asking the 'claw boy was to AVOID girls, not get pawned off onto another one.

Then the next thing he knew, there were the boys two balloons hovering dangerously close to him and Mystery girl.

"I swear, if you soak me..." he glared at hyper girl, clenching his teeth. Griping his wand in his robes, he knew he shouldn't use it but was prepared to do so anyway. If she soaked him, then surely a drying spell would be in use and he could have sworn the older boy up front used tergio - tergeo - or something like that earlier.

But he didn't need to, because before he could do anything rash, the other boy snatched the balloons out of the air raving about them being used for the good of mankind.. meh? The boy was clearly more mentally insane than the two girls; as if that were possible. He questioned his sanity even more when the boy stuffed them down the front of his shirt.

"Er... I hate to break it you you, but if those combust, then your chest is gonna freeze!"

Miranda had her two balloons on the desk, now she was going to try to levitate them both at the same time. That would be awsome!!1

''Wingardium Leviosa! she said loud and clear as she pointed her wand towards the balloons. Wait which one are you supposed to aim for? Or do you point the wand between them? Did that even work? Argh this was difficult!
The blue balloon wobbled a bit and the other pink balloon actually hovered above the desk but it came down as fast as it went up, rolled off the desk and soaked her shoes Merlin... she muttered to herself as she heard the squelching sound of her shoes. Nothing to do now but try again! she told herself

"yes they did exist. When their was cavemen and dinosaurs roamed the earth." she gave her a light tease as she was sure their were such men, but their wasnt a very big selection. Most of them were very big on their ego and highly irritating." you would of passed if you didnt have me distracting you with such puzzling questions." she teased. asteira had her wand out...the very wand she never let out of her site. Their was bound to be someone else who would accidentally break her wand and she wasnt about to go back to olivanders for another. With not much effort asteira had lifted the balloon of the desk and had it hanging near mari's head." Not nervious are you? you dont have to worry." she looked at the balloon as she started to count in her mind. 1, 2, 3, 5,6, 7, 10." alright im done." she said as she moved to lower the balloon onto mari's head." Dont move now." she teased."imagine some people had carry baskets on their head. I would think that would be really bad for your neck. all that weight. it probably flattened their heads."


Asteira caught mari looked over at one of her fellow house mates as she watched him drop his balloon. really it wasnt that difficult. " is that tall, dark and handsome?" asteira asked mari.

Ella winked back at Zel, her partner for everything mischievous. She moved away from the Raven girl to practice something related to the subject. Atleast now. This matter can be taken care later. She raised her wand and levitating..a filled balloon moving over the air..with the easy spell of "Wingardium Leviosa!!!"

Well! Good behaving one..but who is the target?! She will never do that to her friend. With the thoughts she moved the balloon over the younger Ravenclaw..but as he was already soking wet, she moved it further over the head of the taller guy. Oh..No..he's pretty good looking and she didnt want him to see like a wet chicken.

Yeah, finally the girl..why cant she?!! She made the balloon hovered over her head..on the count of ....10..9.. but moved away the balloon once she finished counting with "0" successfully. She didnt want to mess-up with that girl anymore since she looked younger than her and moreover the pointglass shows her house's pathetic status. REsponsible Huffie!!!

"Galloping Gargoyles!" Punzel exclaimed, for clearly that was the only possible reaction to the Ravenclaw snatching her balloons out of the air. "Who said they were weapons, eh?" she added, taking a step toward the kid and pointing her index finger at him.

"I was just practicing the charm! Honest!" The finger went closer to his chest, where the two balloons were making an oddball shape. "C'mon now, don't you want to earn Ravenclaw some points?" Poke poke, pokity poke - the finger prodded the balloons he was hiding under his shirt. Not too hard of a poke, but if he tried to dodge away....surely the things would burst....

Uggh he will just not leave me ALONE! Rapunzel turned from poking the Ravenclaw to glace at Book Boy.

"For once...I might agree with you...." she said slowly, blinking at him for one second. Was it possible that they thought along the same lines...ever?!

But then it was back to poking the Ravenclaw.

"C'mon, it's just a levitation charm...." poke poke poke "...and I'd really hate to get in trouble for not following directions..." poke poke poke POP.

"Oooops." Rapunzel took a step back and bit her lip to keep from giggling. She'd done gone and did it - one of the balloons under the boy's shirt had burst...and spilled ice cold water all the way down the inside of his shirt.

Mariska arched a brow. " Dinosaurs and cavemen?" She said absentmindedly to Asteira, looking over her shoulder as she spoke. She caught Nico turning to look at her and she returned the smile he gave her, careful to keep any excitement to herself this time. She couldn't afford to let him know anything. Especially when she wasn't so sure what he was up to himself.
Mari looked up as Asteira spoke again and she saw a blue balloon over her head. " No, I'm not nervous." She said, watching the balloon a bit nervously anyway. Then she arched a brow as Asteira set the balloon on top of her head. She crossed her arms. " Mmhmm." She said, wondering how long she'd have to stand there with a balloon on her head. At Asteira's next question, she shrugged and smiled, even though inside she was wondering how she'd been so obvious. " Maybe, maybe not." She said with what she thought was a convincing careless laugh.

Miranda looked up from her soaked feet as she heard two pops and saw a boy with his wet shirt. It looked like he had dived into the lake. Her mouth had formed the word Oh and she was pretty much gawping at the group of students surrounding the incident.

Mentally shaking herself she turned to her balloons again...well one balloon since the other had gone splash on her shoes. Going over to the professors desk she took her time figuring out what color she wanted. Yellow is mellow she mumbled to herself making a deep voice and sniggered to herself.
She stopped, hoping no one saw that and thought she was funny in a weird way, and walked back to her desk

"you've heard of those before havent you?" she teased as she moved from her chair and walked over to mari. she removed the balloon from her head as she looked down at her."you do know when you say maybe , maybe not you are pretty much saying yes." she gave her a small smile as she then looked over at him. she turned back to mari. " here hold this." she told her as she handed her the balloon. she walked over the slytherin boy as she gave the whole group a smile.



" Hey there. You guys want to join us? more the better." she asked the slytherins." I dont believe i've met any of you. I'm a transfer from france. Asteira blood." she said introducing herself to the two slytherin girls and the tall, dark and handsome boy.

Mariska breathed a sigh of relief as Asteira finally relieved her of the hovering water balloon. She smoothed her hair down a bit, even though it was unnecessary, and then Asteria spoke to her. The other girl was a bit taller, and Mari looked up at her a bit, biting her lip a little. " Well now I could mean anything..." She was then given a balloon. She sighed and then practiced the charm on her own, listening as Asteira invited others to join them. She had a feeling that Asteira was up to something, but she kept her cool, levitating the balloon a few times just to prove to herself she could do it just a perfectly as ever.

Goodness. She was eying Nico like a big tender piece of Fillet Mignon.

"Hello. Camira Yaxley, nice to meet you and no, he doesn't love you", she muttered gesturing to Nico, "and no, you can't eat him. He's not a steak. Oh, and yes, I'm sure."

Ok, so it was a bit much, but she was sick of people practically falling on top of him. Geesh. And it was not because she liked him. It was just so bloody annoying.

As embarrassing at is was, standing in front of Nico dripping wet, she couldn't help but smile. "Thanks Nico! You're a lifesaver. No one is safe with this one around." she said, pointing at Allie. She rolled her eyes teasingly and started to turn back towards her table when.........
"Again!?" she said surprised. "I am not a target!" She could not believe her luck. As freezing cold as the water was, she was secretly enjoying this class. She glanced at Nico again and was positive that she saw him trying to stifle a laugh.

She tried to give Mel an evil glare, one that had ITS ON! written all over it, but she couldn't stop herself from laughing once again. She went over to where Chris and Melly stood with open WET arms and said, "Aww guys, give me a hug!" She wanted to make sure that she wasn't the only wet one in this little trio.

Asteira turned to look at camira as she introduced herself." Hi. Pleasure to meet you." she said smiling at her. she heard the next thing she said." Er...well that's nice to know. I'll keep that logged away." she said as she raised an eye brow at her. she then chuckled a little ." That's quite alright. Im not a Cannibalist. I dont want to eat anyone and i certainly dont like steak." she told her coolly. " I came over to see if all three of you want to join our group. Not to devour anyone."

She didn't hear it. That horrible abbreviation of her given name. So, Daphne merely stood impatiently by their desks until she decided to hide her school bag lest it get wet in their practice. Not that she intended on messing up the Charm but Miss Jillian was an entirely different person with entirely different intentions and motives for doing things.

Hopton wasn't about to go about in trying to figure out how the girl's brain ticked. Especially when she came back and began speaking in some ancient dialect. Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, Daphne Hopton counted the ways she could not ditch this class exercise.

"Yes, thank you," she replied simply taking the balloons and placing them on her desk. "Now, matey, please go over there," addressed Daphne pointing at the other end of the desk. "And this here, cap'n, will remain on this side. I think you might want to take your wand out too--or are we calling it swords now?"

It was best to play along lest Miss Jillian become upset and start wailing about her failed frog prince once more. She never did find one at the lake. Daphne would just have to try harder next time.

Jillian grinned. "Yer welcome, Cap'n. Arg!" she replied. She was even more delighted when Daphne had decided to play along and speak in pirate terms too--sort of. Her friend needed a little work on the pirate lingo, but Jillian McGuffin was not worried. She had extensive pirate language training with her brothers Chuck and Lucky and she could sure teach Daphne. "Aye, Cap'n" Jillian obeyed once more, saluting then heading over to the other side of the desk.

As she reached the other side, she took out her wand and giggled. "Nay, Cap'n. This here only be wands, no swords, I'm afraid. Disappointing really." she said, trying to sound like a disappointed pirate, which in truth she didn't know how to. Most pirates were either angry, happy, mischievous, hungry, or tired. A sad pirate almost didn't exist for pirates had bad tempers and sadness didn't really fit them.

"Alrighty, Cap'n. You go first. Best if ye try and not splash me with the waterrrr...arg! Dun' wanna feel like I be walkin' the plank and down to the sharrrks!" Jillian was having fun. Who knew Charms class and pirates could actually be connected to one another?

Melinda stood there, motionless. She couldn't say a word and maybe giggled. "I am really sorry, again..." She said to Allie and looked at Chris.

Melinda could see this class was getting much fun than anything else. She glared at Astrid, whom, with open arms, hugged both Chris and her. "Sure..." Melinda said, hugging her friend back. She laughed and then stood apart. This class was the best she could get into.

Nicholai cleared his throat and shot Camira an amused look before turning to Asteria and introducing himself,

"Nicholai Toussaint. I'm in my sixth year." He glanced over at the other group, "I don't know that any of us feel the need for more practice right now. Unless," Nicholai paused, "you guys want to practice reaction times or something. Y'know; levitate it, let it go; next person attempts to levitate it before it hits the ground and if you get any of us wet," he gestured at himself, Evolette and Camira, "you're dead." he grinned, only half-serious.

"Makes it even more important for you to learn such things then I guess." Nicholai shot Astrid an absent smile, "Of course Cale proved he is quite able to cast a decent Tergeo- even if he did forget his socks. And he is your prefect; perhaps he should help you." Nicholai suggested before adding, "not that I mind of course."

"It's a pity," Nicholai murmured, "I quite like the idea of being devoured."

Camira gave him a shrug and a smirk before listening to him talk. Hmm... reaction times. That could be interesting. They could even - What?!

She gave him a scandalized/amused look. "You are shameless, Toussaint. One day you're going to need rescuing from all you fan girls. You're going to find yourself locked in a room with them." She snickered, picturing it.

Jillian McGuffin was a living, breathing, walking, talking lollapalooza. The truth was evident from the way she easily slipped in and out of multiple personalities and her incapacity to analyze situations where she was better off keeping her speech limited. At least she wasn't talking in polysyllables. Not that Daphne would have trouble understanding her but the amount of words per minute Jillian threw out were daunting and dizzying.

"Aye," she trusted herself enough to say when she flicked her wrist and chanted the incantation, struggling briefly at first with raising the balloon safely from the desk and clear from her schoolbag. "Though, argh, truth be told, this here Cap'n ain't got a clue what to do now..."

What was the task again? Raise balloons...avoid getting wet? Do not give extra body parts to students?"

Ludo laughed aloud as Asteira mentioned Canniblism. He stiffled the laugh in case it annoyed Professor Hawkins and walked over to his friends.

He turned to Mari and Asteira. "Great job you two." he said, smiling.

Christine turned her attention back to the first girl who she had practice with. The girl pointed her wand at Christine, said something that Christine didn't catch, and then she was suddenly dry. Thanks, I was freezing there Christine said with a smile. The girl introduced herself. Hi Usagi, I'm Christine, first year Hufflepuff. It's nice to meet you. That is a very interesting name you have there. I like it.

Nicholai shrugged and gave her a slightly dour look,

"And would you be the rescuer or the one locking me in?" She certainly wasn't the fangirl type.

Nicholai eyed the other boy and managed a smile, he'd seen him around but didn't really know him.

"Would you be up for such a challenge?" Nicholai asked, levitating one of the balloons between the little group and looking around.
