Charms Lesson 1
There's nothing unusual about the way the Charms classroom has been set up. All the desks are neatly arranged in rows and, save for a few boxes filled with random supplies, nothing unusual decorates the room. Professor Carlton doesn't appear to be in the classroom, but a slightly ajar door in the back of the room gives the impression that she's likely in the supply closet, looking around for some random something-or-another to use in class.
A sign on the board reads:
Quote:
Welcome to Charms class! Please come in and take a seat. As my announcement indicated, you are more than welcome to have come to class wearing cowboy or cowgirl attire. If you don't own these items, they'll be provided for you. The lesson will begin momentarily.
OOC: The lesson will begin in about two hours (5:45 PM EST). You may roleplay your character coming in and joining class, but please try and limit the conversation.

Keefer levitated his hands into the air. He always raised both hands, because raising just one was boring!
" Professor, I seem to remember hearing about a time during the Second War when it was used. Harry Potter was leaving his aunt and uncle's house when the flying motorcycle he was riding in broke. He was falling, so he used a Hover Charm to keep him up in the air. I think that's an excellent way to use this, don't you?"
Try life-saving. How epic!

Hugo raised his hand.
"You could use it to pick up something, maybe if you are lazy. But of course you always have the summoning charm.
Hugo was proud of his answer, though a lot of people had better ones.

So may people had so many good answers to the question. Even so, I can come up with something good to contrubute. Thus Chloe raised her hand and said, "You could levitate furniture to clean under it with =out needing someone to lift it" well that atleast was something.

Vienna had sat their quietly just listening she had dressed up in a cowgirl outfit as asked. she loved dress up but the cowgirl theme was not her style so she added lots of glitter and color to her bright yellow cowgirl outfit. In answer to what a hover charm can be used for she raised her hand and answered uncertainly. "It can be used to transport an unconscious or badly injured person to
the hospital wing"

Emmy put her hand up, and said, "Well... Maybe if you were flying, and you got knocked off your broom, you could use it to cushion your fall?" not the best way of putting it, but never mind...

Kurumi thought for a moment. What had she read that could be useful for a Hovering Charm. "Professor," she smiled raising her hand. "One could use the charm to levitate a cursed item and examine it without touching it or bringing harm to yourself." Yes, that sounded like a pretty legitimate answer. "Or, help you carry something heavy from one place to another..." That second answer did not seem as smart as her first one, but it was still a possible use.

Cass swung her feet under the table, careful not to get her white cowboy shoes dirty, then she raised her arm and said "Well, it could be used to start a food fight...like what that house-elf, oh..what was his name?..Dobby! Dobby did during the summer of 1992 to get Harry Potter in trouble."

Jaxon swung his hand up to the air and said, "Professor, some might think it is too early for this one but, I think we can use it to decorate, like for example a huge Christmas tree like the ones we use here at school during Christmas." he said and scratching his chin.

Rowan sat quietly taking notes. Oddly enough, she felt silly NOT wearing a cowboy hat. She wished that she had a hat. It was fun to dress up sometimes.

Professor Carlton wasn't in the back room?
O_____________o
Right.
Shrugging off the fact saying hello to an empty room might have made her look like an idiot, even though she wasn't the only one, Sarah smiled broadly as their teacher entered the room. She liked her. Carlton was nice....And pink. Pink was like some kind of thing, that was spreading around the school. Weird.
Deciding to just take notes for the first question, Sarah eventually stuck her hand up for second one. "If you have a really messy room, you could use it to put things away and tidy up. Especially if some of it is heavy, or needs to go up high." Yeah, she was speaking from experience on the messy part.

"We could levitate objects into any position we want and we can also use this charm to clean any wreckage." Dianna said as she lowered her hand. She can't wait to try it.

Grinning at Sarah's comment about her fairy wings, Lorelai focused forward as Professor Carlton entered the room. Giving their class teacher a smile, the Prefect started to listen as students fired answers at her. Hover charms were fun, so the amount of answer firing was necessary. So many things you could do. "You could make people hover, if like... You know. THEY CAN FLY! Like my wings help me to." Maybe she ha some sort of 'puff senses, she'd probably had a cool vibe and worn the wings.
Oh. MAYBE she was psychic! And didn't know about it, hehe.
Hovering cowgirl. Heh.
"You could assort like your ornaments, move them out the way. Dust the dresser, then put them back. Change things up. It's a fun spell, it is." Actually, most spells were rather fun. More than fun, even.

Carr sighed as she sat in class, smiling as she listened to the professor talking. Charms were her best and favorite class and she was glad to finally be in it. She'd been smacked in the face with dodgeballs shaped like '1's in Arithmancy, thrown five feet to the ground in Flying Class, and screamed at for something she'd already done in Potions and she was so happy to be in Charms where she knew precisely what she was doing. And Hover Charms? Easy! And one of the most useful charms she'd ever learned.
She raised her hair and cleared her throat. "Professor," she said, calling attention to herself, "Aurora DeLune's parents use Levitation and Hover Charms in architecture. They own a contracting company and build houses using the charms in tandem with magical extenders, which maintain hover charms without a person having to keep direct eye contact with it at all times." | |

Then she said to the girl "No problem. I'm Cass. First year Slytherin. Nice to meet you Rowan."

| Too lazy to read through each answer... sorry if this has been said.
Lexi D raised her hand and smiled at her HoH before saying, "My mum uses the hover charm when she cooks. Because she has so many things going at one time, ya know. She can just hover the hot pots and pans into the sink when she is done, too. SO that is one way it could be used." She smiled as she finished talking and pushed some hair from her face. Ahh Charms, one of her fave subjects EVER.

Sarah had been trying to pay attention to what was going on up the front of class, but she could hear a low whispering behind her. Turning in her seat, she spotted two first years chatting about hats and swimming. "Pssttt," she hissed to get their attention. "Would you not chat in class please, and pay attention to Professor Carlton! Thank you."
Sarah gave them a stern look, before turning back to face the front. Plenty of time for talking later. Yes.

Cass said, remembering one of her cousin's favorite phrases "To bad though. But he said he wasn't doing to give up" Cass said with a smile "Oh, you're a Ravenclaw? Wonderful My father was in Ravenclaw. But you should continue his later. We would have plenty of time after classes."

All decked out in his outlaw outfit, Fletcher had his arms folded and was slouched down in his seat with his hat tipped low over his eyes. He slowly chewed on a small toothpick as he watched the pretty Charms professor and her pink highlights.
Then she asked a question, and he raised a hand barely off the table to chance an answer.
"Welllllll, professaaah," the Irish lad attempted an American Western accent, "yeh could use the charm fer a variety o' things. Like haulin water ter yer campsite, or puttin up a tent, or gettin yer horse across th' river."
Oh yeah. He liked theme classes.

Rubiey had moved seats, so she was sitting next to Slytherin best friend, then she raised her hand. "If somebody has had an accident, and something has fallen on them, they could use the Hover Charm to move it." Rubiey suggested.

"Professor, you could use it to paint big things! You would levitate the paintbrush and raise it HIGH in the air to the big canvas and paint using your wand!" he chipped up, hand in air and a smile on his face. That could be REALLY fun to do. 'Course, there were magical ways of painting on big things but this was just so much cooler!
