He smiled to the class and decided an introduction would be best. "As some of you may know, I am Professor Ian Ashby, your new Charms professor. Yes, I am new here, but I am confident that you all will make my adjustment here as smooth as butter.
"Now then, to get things started, who can tell me the difference between Charms and Transfiguration? I find that, even to this day, I sometimes have trouble making the distinction. However, you all look like a smart bunch; perhaps you can learn me a thing or two! Remember to raise your hands!" Cadence raised her hand. Professor, in transfiguration we learn how to change or create the nature of something, whether by transfiguring it into something else, creating it, or sometimes even by giving life to inanimate objects. In charms we learn how to manipulate objects and people while they retain the same nature.

Tobi raised a hand, "Sir, Charms is the enchantment of an object or person to change their behaviour or function, where as Transfiguration actually changes the object or person itself, at least temporarily." He emphasized the words, hoping he had made the difference clear.

Rian sat quietly in her chair desk, her quill poised to take notes. She looked over to her left and saw that she was sitting next to Liz. She gave the girl a smile, but that was it. She knew talking would not go over well with Professor Ashby.
She frowned slightly when the other students answered his question before she got a chance to, but instead wrote down her own take on the difference between Transfiguration and Charms on her parchment. After writing it down, she quickly scrawled Charms Notes - Lesson One across the top of the page in her elegant handwritting.

If I am not mistaken, Transfiguration alters the physical properties of an object, so thank you for mentioning the physicality of the object." Quote:

Quote:

She sorta remembered the answer, and after a minute's thought, she raised her hand. "Well, Professor, a charm enchants an object to behave in a way that's not natural to it, but without changing the object itself - unlike Transfiguration spells that change inherent nature of an object." Or something like that. "Two Points! One for a correct definition, and another for the mention of the inherent nature!" Quote:

"Two Points for a fantastic answer! That is very interesting that you brought up the changing of molecules for transfiguration, while for charms, the molecules of the object that is being charmed remain the same. As to whether or not the actual molecules are changed, that is still being studied." Quote:
Originally Posted by Grangerfn1 Becca grinned at the man as he appreciated her awkwardness.

Right?" "One Point." Quote:
Originally Posted by SweetAussie Agie raised her hand. "Professor charms can change or manipulate things to do something different, or act in a way we want.

It would be her first big lesson involving spells, and with her wrist injury, she didn't have much confidence in that. Quote:

She didn't bother answering the question as about 20 other students answered first. he didn't need them all to just repeat themselves all over. Ian could tell a few students wanted to provide answers, but appeared unsure of themselves. "Please, don't be afraid to share your thoughts in this class. This is a safe learning environment." Quote:

Cadence raised her hand. Professor, in transfiguration we learn how to change or create the nature of something, whether by transfiguring it into something else, creating it, or sometimes even by giving life to inanimate objects. In charms we learn how to manipulate objects and people while they retain the same nature. "Hello there. Unfortunately, miss, you are late, so I must regrettably take five points from Hufflepuff. However, for your answer, you have earned one point." Quote:

He emphasized the words, hoping he had made the difference clear. "One point." "Yes, you were all correct," Ian said. "Charms are spells that manipulate an object or person, such as changing its physical properties or, as another example was given, summoning. However, when charming an object, it remains the same object. With Transfiguration, you are changing the physical properties and inherent nature of the object, therefore changing it into a different object.
So! Now that we have that out of the way, who can give me some examples of charms? Please ONLY provide ONE charm each in order to allow everyone to offer up their suggestions." | |

Clifford's hand shot into the air again. "There's the cushioning charm. Without that sitting on a broomstick would be PAINFUL." His face paled at the thought. Shudder.

Hmm. One charm? Well, that was quite easy. She raised her hand, "The Protean Charm, sir." Sure it was a rather complex one, but hey--it was a charm.

Daphne was glad to know Ashby was encouraging answers from everyone. She happily raised her hand to answer. "Well, there's the Patronus charm!" she responded. It was strange she would provide that answer, since the closest thing she could produce to a patronus was a wisp of silver smoke.

Well. Maybe he was not going to eat them. Just maybe. Juniper raised her hand. "Expecto Patronum, the Patronus charm, would be an example," she said. | |

She blushed as the professor seemed to read her thoughts. She gave him a small smile. "Yes sir, of course," She told him. most professor stopped listening to what they were saying after a few students said the same thing over and over again, apparently he was different.
She raised her hand. "The banishing charm," She added. Quote:

Rian looked up at his next...question type thing. She could name a ton of different charms, but, of course, she couldn't. So she just thought of one she could say.
As one came to mind, she frowned slightly. It was a way to defend yourself...but the word 'Charm' was in the name. So it was a charm, right? She shrugged and raised her hand. It never hurt to try. "The Patronus Charm, Professor?" she asked, her hand still raised. Her brow was furrowed, and curiousity was in her mind. Was it a charm?

Cale raised his hand again, grin upon his face. "Well, my personal favorite charm is Alohomora, which opens locks and such. You can have all kinds of fun with that one, getting into places you aren't allowed," he explained with a chuckle.
