"Since there's so much concern about accidents and the counterspell, I think it would be a good idea to learn the counterspell first." Svensson gripped his wand, opened the box on his desk, and drew out a stone marshmallow peep. "As you can see, I have turned this marshmallow candy...peep... into stone. Watch carefully, for I'm going to use the counterspell to make it marshmallow again." "Flexi!" Svensson shouted melodramatically, making a jabbing motion at the stone marshmallow with his wand. And alas! It was a marshmallow again. The professor held up the candy for all to see, then set the peep next to the box. "Everybody practice the pronunciation of the counterspell, then we'll move on to the spell itself. 'Flexi'." |
'Flexi?' Evelyn thought, trying hard not to smile and keep a straight serious face. "Flexi." she said quietly out loud, making it even more difficult not to laugh. 'Jeez, why is that so funny?' Finally, unable to handle it any longer, she let out a small chuckle for a split second, not loud enough for anyone to hear though. |
Emalyn's mouth watered as she caught sight of the... MARSHMALLOWS!!! Oooooh! No. No, no, no. You've had enough marshmallows. She concentrated instead on what the professor had said. She muttered to herself. "Flexi...flexi? Yes, flexi. Flexi flexi flexi." she nodded in agreement with herself (yes, you can agree with yourself), and stopped muttering. She was starting to look like a weirdo. "Flexi." she said, satisfied. There, that was right...right? Right. |
Hooray! Practical parts of the class were good for Issy for a few reasons. One, this meant that she needn't talk and thusly not embarrass herself with unnecessary babbling. Secondly, following Charms, Transfiguration was something she excelled at. In fact, her wand was very good for this. Third, practicality was fun. Fun! Unfortunately, though, they were not practicing quite yet. Only the pronunciation. Siiiiigh. The girl let her wand rest on the desk and practiced the spell, though, it was hardly a difficult spell to speak. "Flexi!" she mimicked the melodramatic manner the professor had spoken. "Flexi! Flexiiii!" To amuse herself, she used her hand to mime the way the wand had been used. Jab, jab! Like jousting! Or lancing! Jabbity jab! |
Satine watched in awe as the Professor pulled out a....a....is that a marshmellow....How random and weird.......she had to keep herself from doing the usual 'ooooooooohhhhhs....' and 'aaaaaaahhhhhhhhs' that she really wanted to say as she watched him change the marshmellow to a stone and back again and then she became really excited when she realized that maybe they were going to do the same.....and now to pracitce the counter... Satine wrote the counterspell on her paper and then tried saying it correctly a few times...then she had a weird question. She raised her hand, "Professor, I have a....well...I have a kind of crazy question....if the marshmallow is a stone is would it be like eating a rock...I mean if you wanted to eat it....or would it have a sweet taste....or could you even eat it....would it be a bad thing to do..." she paused and then decided to clarify her question...."well, not that I would ever want to eat a marshmallow stone." she finally finished her long stupid question...why did I even open my mouth....ugh! |

"Flexi." She enunciated clearly. "Flexi!" And then she raised her hand, "Question, professor? Is Flexi only a counter spell? Or, if you used it on an item that was in its normal state, would it soften it?" |
Carter was excited. They'd be learning how to turn things to stone! He listened closely to how the counter spell. "Flexi." he said imitating the professor. Hopefully he got it right. |
“Flexi, Flexi, Flexi...” Abigail continued to mutter the counter spell along with the rest of the class, sure that she had it right. It didn’t really make sense to learn this before the actual spell though. |
"FLEXI!" Rafe shouted rather triumphantly. He did the poke like motion with his wand. "Flexi, Flexi, Flexi..." he sang it to a little tune. "Well I think I got that down!" Rafe said excitedly. "Woo hoo! Next there's Duro..." he waited for the professor to demonstrate once more. He couldn't wait to get his own little peep to practice on! |
Huh. That sounded easy enough, and it sort of made sense...since rock wasn't flexible at all. Perhaps magic stood a chance of redemption in Arrick's eyes. Currently, he still wasn't convinced. He scrawled 'flexi' in his book as he mumbled the incantation to himself. |
Abby watches intently as Professor Svensson demonstrates the counter spell. She takes out her wand and practice the jabbing motion first. Abby then says the incantation, F-l-e-x-i. Flexi!" |
Damon thought that this would be a rather easy counter spell to pronounce. Damon cleared his mind of all other thoughts and said "Flexi" and then after a few moments once again he said "Flexi" Damon thought he had pronounced it well but he watched the others around him. |
Tori repeated the word just as the professor did, "Flexi, flexi, flexi..." She must have said it fifty times before she decided to look around and listen to the others practice. |
Nikki looked at the marshmellow, an realised how hungry she was. She sighed, and went about practicing the counter spell, as she was told. "Flexi! Flexi, flexi, flexi!" Now that she said it, the spell reminded her of one of those fluro bendy rulers. They were pretty cool, now that she thought of it.... |
William hadn't even know what was going on. For a moment he thought he had stumbled into a history of magic lesson but he had already had that lesson. Then it dawned on him, and it kind of hit him hard. He listened carefully to the professor not missing a thing. This lesson was kind of interesting; turning things into stone then turning them back to normal again. But not human, oh no he wasn't going to touch that with a million foot pole. "Flexi, Flexi." he muttered, wrapping his tongue around the counter spell and nodding to himself, noting the jabbing motion. That was simple enough, besides the normal swish and flick of other spells, jabbing was also a common wand movement. It seemed to him that many of the spells he had learned needing either a flick, swish or a flick jab. |

"Flexi. Flexi. Flexi. Flexi. Flexi." Anna kept saying it until she got really confused. "Flexi. Flexi. Flexi rular. Measuring stick. Stick of gum. Gummy bear. Teddy Bear. Teddy Roosevelt. FDR. World War II. Apocalypse. Chocolate. |

She'd practice for HOURS to make sure that she could. "Flexi!" She repeated and, noticing Issy practice the wand movement, Cela too gave a few jabs. |
"It sounds as if everybody's saying the counterspell correctly, so we'll move on now," Professor Svensson announced. "As I mentioned earlier, the incantation of the spell is Duro. Correct pronunciation of the incantation is important for the spell to work, so everybody put your wands down and practice saying the incantation. Duro." "And if there are any questions, feel free to raise your hand and ask at any time." |
"Duro, Duro, Duro....Duro, Duro, Duro..." Rafe sang it again. He was ready to practice now. |
'Duro. Much less funnier than Flexi *snicker*' Evelyn thought as she was twirling her wand. "Dur-" she paused and she stopped twirling her wand, putting it down before she did something she wasn't supposed to. "Duro." she repeated after the Professor. |
Damon had not moved his wand from where he had placed it so with yet another mind clearing of all thoughts Damon clearly said "Duro" "Duro" "Duro. He hoped that amount of practice would help and that the word would stay in memory. Damon waited for further instruction. |
"Duro." . . . |
