Astrid smiled. She was so happy to earn some points. She raised her hand high again and said, "There is the Alohomora, Accio, and Wingardium Leviosa."

Demetria shot up her hand "Lumos lights up your wand so you can see when it's dark!"

Chris raised his name to say a charm "What about the Accio charm? Thats the one that summons an object."

Jean Raoul's hand slowly went into the air. Naming charms was simple enough. "Aguamenti is a charm, I do believe," he said. "It creates a stream of water."

Chris raised his hand. "Protego the Shielding Charm." Chris said.

Xehanna raised her hand. "Lumos is to light up the room or your wand so you can see." xehana smiled. she used this charm alll the time.

Allie raised her hand.
"The Alohomora Char, unlocks locks." said Allie.

Aurora took a deep breathe and recited: "There is the Incendio spell that conjures fire or other Magical Fires"

Demetria shot up her hand. "Lumos makes your wand light up when it's dark!"

Maddox raised his hand and said, "The Locomotor charms makes objects move."

"Scourgify will clean surfaces and objects." Isabella said trying to think of one that someone had not yet mentioned.

Anna raised her hand again. "Sorry, Professor. I should have only said one. I'll stick with Accio, the charm that summons an object to us," she said.

MJ nodded and smiled. She knew of charms that other students probably considered them to be for the adults but she had learned from her past experiences that it was good to know a good charm to heal the bones. She remembered her brother using this one on her most of her child hood. Episkey, but she wondered if it was a complicated one. She raised her hand.

"I'm not sure this is completely basic but its useful when someone is hurt." she said. "Ferula it creates bandages."

Camira raised her hand again. "What about cheering charms. They're used to uplift someone's mood. Quite common during O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. time, from what I've heard."

Lucas wanted to giggle at Anna, she was funny.

Mari was a bit miffed that she had points taken away, but her irritation was short-lived as Ludo managed to get them back. Still, she was irked about it. She raised her hand again, a determined expression on her face." There's the silencing charm, Silencio." She offered, hoping to get back on this professor's good side before it was too late.

Katelyn's brain didnt work this quickly! She didnt care, though, she could remember things really well. She quickly scribbled down everything everyone had said, and didnt try to think of a charm..they had almost all been named anyways! She didnt see many Ravenclaws getting any points...oh dear! She might have to try...

Raiden raised his hand. "Uhm... is Engorgio a charm? It makes things grow bigger." He bit his lip. He really should have made a point of reading more of his Charms book...

Xehanna raised her hand again. "Leviacorpous is to send away. and Anapneo is to clear."

Astrid blushed when she realized that in her eagerness to answer the question, she left at just WHAT the charms did. She raised her hand again and said, Sorry Professor, can I change my last answer? Alohamora is the charm that causes a locked door to open."

"Engorgio, it enlarges an object." Rachel said, trying to make up for lost points. She wrote down everyone else's answers as well.

Jack raised his hand. "Avifors, It changes small objects into birds" he said.

His head resting on both of his hand, Fred was caught was in some sort of trance, only paying attention to only half of what was going on around him. When he heard other students naming charms, a quickly remember where he was. This wasn't the place to fall asleep. Straightning himself just a bit a tried to focus

"Professor can I add another one? There's Point Me, a charm which makes the wand act like a compass," Rachel said, suddenly remembering.

"Excellent! A very basic spell every good witch or wizard should know! Take 2 points!"

"Yes, lumos is a very hand charm to know in case you're ever trapped in the dark. 2 points for you!"

Callie was shocked the Hufflepuff boy was actually paying attention. "Wow, impressive, you do know a little about charms. Aquamenti is indeed a rather basic charm that allows you to shoot water from your wand. 2 points to you.

"The Accio charm? Is there such a charm? Or did you mean the Summoning charm?" Callie teased. "But yes, you're right the Accio summons a charm, a point to you."

"Ahhh, now that's a good one. Some might argue that it's not a basic charm. However, it's imperative everyone know this charm, and you all will learn it soon enough, as well. 2 points for you!"

"Alohomora. A favorite charm of mine during my time at Hogwarts." Callie laughed. 2 points!

"Scourgiy! If only more students knew this one, Hogwarts would be spotless." Callie chuckled. 2 points.

"Locomotor is a great charm, but it's not the easiest of charms to do, so I'm not sure I would consider it basic, but one point to Hufflepuff for sharing a charm."

"It's ok Anna, and yes Accio summons something but it's been said already." Callie smiled, wondering if everything was ok with Anna, it wasn't like her not to pay attention.

"Ferula! A great spell. Again another one that's a bit advanced, but a point to you for sharing your ideas."

"The cheering charm!! I love this charm! Yes, 2 points to you! What a great charm to cheer people up. We could have used it last term huh?" Callie winked.

"Ahhh, the silencing charm. I'm not sure I want everyone to know that one, or you'll be casting it on one another at every turn," Callie teased, but it's another great charm. One point to you!"

-------------

I'm really impressed with all your answers! One point to everyone else who shared their answers! I'm glad see so many of you guys have been reviewing your textbooks! That should prove very useful to todays lesson.

"Speaking of today's lesson," Callie smirked "Today we'll be learning the levitation charm. Now some of you have already told us that levitation is one of our basic spells that lifts an object into the air, and they would be correct, of course. But who can tell me why this charm might be very useful to us?"
