Reluctantly, she allowed her consciousness to process her slight fear of falling.

"Well, weight would be a variable in this situation considering the pull of gravity---and also, as you can see--I'm quite stationary here," paused Daphne with a meek smile. "While someone riding an Abraxan would fall victim to not only the pull of gravity but possible unbalance due to the Abraxan's movements..."

And why are we discussing this while my legs are in display?!

"Then again---this is magic." With magic, gravity didn't really hold such a strong pull after all.

Davis?! Davis?! Please get me down, Davis.

GASP. 'Okay....looks stuck to me' As she quickly pulled the desk out and left him hanging...then just as quickly pushed the desk back. 'Aweksiss!'

She tilted her head, 'Well?'

Daphne tried to move forward, but her head didn't agree and instead she found her butt away from the wall, back of the skull still kissing the wall passionately until a resonant pop advised her it was okay. "Thank you!"

Swaying slightly on the desk as she regained her balance, Daphne patted her cheek. It was best to get this exercise over with. She climbed down the desk as delicately as possible given the circumstances. "Now that I think about it," remarked Daphne holding her hands up. "I'm not sure Charms is really my thing."

She rather ungracefully climbed up and stood against the wall...knees together, praying she wouldn't fall on her bum.

'Okay, Copernicus...please get it right the first time.' She closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable and started a slow mantra in her mind.. breathe in .. breathe out ..breathe in .. breathe out ..

The way she was holding her arms up against the wall made Daphne feel like Celandine Toussaint was sacrificing herself for the sake of Hopton's wand practice. Wincing, she held up her wand. "I promise to make this quick, Cela." Taking a deep breath, she began tracing Celandine's lithe figure. "Aaaaadhaaaaeeeeroooooooo," chanted Daphne having to pause three times to catch her breath and continue due to her mild case of asthma.

Putting her wand down, she walked up to Celandine and grasped the desk. "Ready?" before pulling it away from Cela's feet.

Humming pensively, she placed her hands on her hips. That arm better stick or she'd resort to gluing it there!

She wiggled her toes and looked at Daphne, "So..."

Sarah's head turned to the left as she heard the Professor speak.
Listening intently as Ashby gave his intructions,Sarah nodded along.
Hmmm sticking charm? Well that made sense.They already knew the un-sticking charm,best to learn how to stick things as well.....unless the teachers were going to volunteer again.
She was about to go and get her paper from his desk when she noticed Mariel had already got some. "Thank you," she said,grinning and taking the sheet from her friend.If we have to do this on our own,what do we have partners for? Musing about that in her head for a few seconds Sarah finally shrugged it off.. I'm sure he'll tell us soon.

"Adhaero,adhaero,adhaero...." Sarah practiced before she put the paper on the wall. I hope this goes well and I don't stick something else..it would be just my luck.
Holding the paper on a free bit of wall,Sarah put her wand on the top corner and began tracing around the edge... "Adddddhhhhhaaaaeeerrooo." OH.She got as far as her hand and found she hand to twist like a contortionist to finish in one go.
With her eyes closed she slowly let go of the paper and peeped out to see the results.Surprisingly most of it had stuck.The bottom edge wasn't down,though,so Sarah redid it and stood back to admire her handy-work.
"Not bad,I suppose," she muttered. "How have you done?" she asked,turning to Mariel and seeing her piece stuck fast too. "Cool!..Are we supposed to unstick them as well?"

Ian turned back to Tobi. "You ready? Regardless, I'm starting!" Ian took his wand and began to trace the outline of the boy while saying the charm. About a third of the way through, Ian ran out of breath, stopped the spell, and said, "Don't move." He took a deep breath and continued the spell, never lifting his wand.

Once he was finished, he looked up at Tobi. "On the count of three. One...Two...THREE!" As he shouted out the word 'three,' Ashby flicked away the desk with his wand.

Tobi was hanging from the wall.

"See? Not so hard, now is it?"

The screeching noise of the object being moved overpowered the din in the classroom briefly. "Should I leave you up there to enjoy the view or take you down promptly? To be honest, I don't think this class is going anywhere soon."

Daphne tapped the desk roughly with her wand, ridding herself of excess emotions provoked by puberty, teenage angst and partially, perhaps, by Celandine's remark. Better the desk than a live being.

Although, at the moment, Miss Hopton wasn't beyond sending a flobberworm to the netherworld.

"I'll get you down to the best of my capabilities," muttered Daphne taking aim at her head first. If I can get you down, she thought sarcastically flicking her wrist. "Avexis!" Her wand switched to her left arm. "Avexis!" Then her right arm. "Avexis!" Her torso was next. "Avexis! Avexis, Avexis!" finished Daphne quickly flicking her wand at Celandine's legs.

Curiously, she humphed before nearing Cela and slipping her wand behind one of her knees just to make sure she had come unglued.

Perhaps too many which could have been the reason Celandine's arm didn't stick properly to the wall in the first place. "Want me to get up there again?" inquired Hopton cautiously raising her hands as if that would prevent Cela from falling lest she lose her balance as she twirled on the spot.

"Oh no." Celandine declined, "I don't think I need more practice with sticking to walls." Cela shot a significant look at Daphne. She jumped off the desk and shot a quick little look at Copernicus before moving over to Daphne's side, "We need to get really good with these charms, Daffy. Life or Death." Actually, Cela didn't at all think it was life or death. Her plans were foolproof this time.

HA. That depraved little boy had already moved on from forcing her friend to behave inappropriately to attempting to persuade another Ravenclaw into participating in said inappropriate behavior.

The nerve of that friend napper delinquent! "Never mind," continued Daphne with flushed cheeks, scratching a nervous itch inside her hair. "Life or death?" whispered Daphne back conspiratorially, leaning in with raised brows. "Aren't I good enough already? I'm kind of getting tired having to stick myself to things. Can't we use somebody else?"

Innocently, Daphne twisted her torso trying to find a willingreluctant target.
