"Torparticus, Torparticus,'' Jory said, to get a hang of the spell. "Torparticus,Torparticus,Torparticus.'' He was sure he got that right. "Now to try it out.'' To tell the truth, he was a bit nervous about doing this. What if something went horribly wrong?

"Torparticus!'' The Puff made the jabbing movement and instantly felt that numbish/prickling sensation he sometimes got when he woke up and found he had slept on his hand. He hated it.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Kat said with a small smirk. Well, she knows Ariana so it won't be possible that they both will be uncomfortable with each other, right? It would've been awkward if Kat had to pick a lonely person whom she doesn't know yet.

So... back to the spell stuff. "Why don't you start up first?" KAT IS READY FOR FINGER JINXES that can be used on Cambridge and Wheeler.

"Good!" she said as she practiced an incantation and the wand movement"Torparticus! wand jab! "Torparticus!" wand jab! Of course she wasnt doing them TOGETHER. then she'd wind up hurting someone. eh that couldn't be too bad right? she then looked at kat and pointed her wand ad the joints of her fingers to her NON wand hand. "this spell is casted on the joint right?" she said pointing to hudson's finger with her wand lightly. nothing happened. she just poked her "Ready Hudson!?" she said a bit to excited. looking at the girl Your turn.. then we'll do the other spell.. whatever it was

It took him a while to get himself up on the ceiling with the mats but he's finally there! And... its quite nothing like flying, if anything it was rather unnerving to feel something solid beneath your feet when you know the ground is actually the one below your head.

But right moving onto the spells.... He mouthed the spell a few times while doing the upside down U wand stroke Pe-trif-icus Di-gi-tir-us...... Petrificus Digitirus. Does he want to try this on anybody right now? Sure-- if only they werent so dependent on their other hand and feet to keep them glued to the ceiling. Even if there was a net to catch them, he found it extremely risky to try it on anyone up on the ceiling.




Now there was another spell. He mimicked the jabbing motion and mouthed the spell again Torp-ar-ti-cus.....Torparticus. He was starting to wish he stayed on the ground, that way he would be more at ease to try it on someone or someone trying it on him. Or maybe one of those dummies....

And he was starting to get the feeling that the spell to keep lightheadedness away was starting to wear off, either that or his bad ear was acting up now....

Soo... uhh... yeah.

Kat needed to practice that incantation and wand movement now. Gripping her wand, Kat jabbed on the air. "Torparticus." Cool... Again. "Torparticus... Torparticus... Torp-ar-ti-cus..." That should do it. Yep. After a few more rounds oh beautiful practice, Kat was now ready. "Let's start now with the other spell."

Petrificus Digitirus, right?

"Petrificas Dagitiros, right?" was that it? she couldn't remember how to say it "with the upsidedown U movement right?" she demonstrated with her wand but just wasn't sure. ugh kat hellppp! She really needed to pay more attention instead of sticking her hands to the ceiling while the professor was speaking

It's only been a few minutes and Logan had already forgotten the first spell. Amnesia, anyone? "It's Petrificus Digitirus, Logan," Kat corrected her not-so-intelligent housemate. "And at least you got the hand movement correct. Upside down 'U'." Well, Ariana better remember her incantations, otherwise it would cost a whole lot disaster.

Kat started practicing the spell, though. "Petrificus Digitirus," UPSIDE DOWN U. "Pet-ri-fi-cus Di-gi-ti-rus..." Syllabication gone easy. "Petrificus Digitirus." Got it. Logan, YOU'RE NEXT.

Petrificus Digitirus! Right!" aariana put her hand to her forehead. stupipd girl. "right okay Pe-trif-icus Digi-tir-us." okay so she didnt sound it out how it was SUPPOSE to be sounded out but it was still right And UPside U that wasnt hard "Petrificus Digitirus" good! "okay what do you want to do next kat?"

Good. Logan was doing well with the spellwork, though. Great. At least Kat won't be zapped with a spell. Hopefully Logan knows how Kat is when someone hits her with a spell, right? Especially in First Year when a PUFFER hit her with the Sneezing spell. REALLY?! Good thing there is FINITE. Gracious Merlin.

Uhmmm... "I think we could start hitting each other with spells now." That was a joke. "Kidding, we could practice now if you want."

OOC: I've asked Katherine (Kurumi) if we could practice now and she said we could.

Hitting each other!? WIN! oh.. ohhhh she was kidding.. way to let me down hudson "okay let's practice. You can so them on me first if you want." Nod nod nod.

Kat wouldn't want to hit anyone... but everyone knows she's lying... *smirk* She still wants to hit the Slythindor duo firsties. Meehee. Annoying little ducks those two are. VERY ANNOYING. Pssh.

Okay. Time for practice, right? "I'll go first," Kat said. SORRY LOGAN IF IT'S GONNA FEEL FOR FRIGGIN' WEIRD AND STUFF. THERE'S FINITE, RIGHT?! Here it goes... "Torparticus," Kat had said, with a jab...

Merlin. Logan, I'm sorry. O__________O But it wouldn't hurt. Hopefully Logan's fingers were ready for some... exercising. Heehee.

Ariana held out her right hand for the girl. you know since she was left handed and held her want in her LEFT hand. anyway. holding her hand out she waiting as Hudson casted the charm and MERLIN. her hand tensed up and ariana scrunched her face up "Oh WOOWWWW!!" she didnt expect it to feel like that! she looked at her hand as her fingers were hurting heh ow.

Kat gulped when she saw her spell cast on Logan. "Sorry if that hurts," Kat apologized. She wanted this class to be 'No one was harmed during the making'. Kat then casted Finite on Ariana's right hand. "You okay now?"

Ok. Ariana's been casted. Cambridge Kat goes next. She left out her left hand, since she's right-handed. "You're turn, Logan." Kat shut her eyes close because she honestly does not like spells casted on her... or near here. Today is just an exemption. Meh.

Minerva smiled at her friend, "Yes it is a neat spell isn't it." She did enjoy the name and she always liked having something to tease Harvey with in their little spats. Changing his hair was kind of getting old, so she did need something new. "Petrificus Digitirus" She said one last time and then did a practice wand movement.

Looking at Belle she thought for a second, "Oh go ahead and do it on me first. Just not my wand hand. Just in case." She giggled, Minerva had no worries that Belle would get the spell right. She wasn't a prefect for nothing and she was good with her wand. "Whenever your ready, just go for it."

Now that Sarah had managed to do the incantation - Petrificus Digitirus. She did the wand movement the upside down ‘U’ which is how Sarah did her non-capital ‘n’s.
After practicing the wand movement by itself a couple of times, Sarah held out her non-wand hand and pointed her wand to her fingers. “Petrificus Digitirus” she said and she did the baby n shape... she did not think it would work, that was why she was so surprised when her fingers stiffened straight and she was unable to bend them... She then forgot what the spell to end it was... after watching the others for a while she knew it. “finite” she said. She breathed a sigh of relief when her fingers where back to normal again.
She was rather nervous when she preformed it again, which was probably why it did not work, yet on the third time she did it right.
It was then that the teacher told them about the next spell.

Sarah decided to go on with the next spell, she could always do the first one again later.
“Torp-ar-tus” she said... wrong there is a ‘c’ in there. “TorptiCus” she said.. wrong again. “Torp-ar-ticus” she said, finally getting it right. She repeated it for more times “Torp-ar-ticus, Torp-ar-ticus, Torp-ar-ticus”. That was okay now
On to the wand movement, which was simple to master, a slight jab. Then Sarah again held out her left arm and aimed her wand and gave a jab “Torp-ar-ticus” she said. Strangely enough she go the feeling that there were ants running in her wrist... she must of miss aimed. Now.. what was the spell to stop it... the professor hadn’t said, yet Sarah said “finite” and it stopped. Again she did it, this time making SURE that it went to her fingers... it felt so horrible. Her mom called that feeling pins and needles. “finite” she said again... she hated that feeling.

She was glad that Ella was okay with being partners again. She looked at her and then down to her fingers. Would it hurt? "No, I don't think it hurts, but it might be really uncomfortable." She drew her wand and said eagerly, "Do you mind if I try first? I think I've got it down pretty well now." When Ella consented, she focus on her non-wand hand and said the incantation. "Petrificus Digitirus!" She was shocked when Ella's fingers snapped together, stiff as a board. "Are you okay?!" she asked excitedly. "Does it hurt?"

Ella nodded, feeling a bit more at ease with the whole idea after Eliza's reassuring words. "You're probably right...nothing to worry about." ...Hopefully. The third year smiled when Eliza eagerly volunteered to go first, waiting with a curious smile to see what would happen. The blonde's green eyes grew wide when the first year finally cast the spell, her fingers going quite stiff and stone-like. BLINK.BLINK. "Merlin's beard!" She whispered, examining her own hand curiously. "I... I'm fine, actually. This is really...I..." How to explain the feeling? It wasn't like she was in serious pain or anything but it felt really strange. "It's uncomfortable...and I wouldn't want to be stuck like this but... it's also kind of cool." Grin. "Well done! If you just end the spell, I'll give it a go!" A simple finite should have her back to normal, yeah?

When her fingers were back to normal, the third year got her wand ready and took a deep breath. She then made the upside-down U movement and with a clear voice said, "Petrificus Digitirus!" WOAH! ...Wicked. "Are you alright?"

Eliza's eyes were still wide at the sight of what she had done when she realized, "Oh! Gosh, sorry!" She pointed her wand again and said, "Finite!" She scratched her forehead and shrugged her shoulders at her forgetfulness. Now it was her turn. Okay, brace yourself. She breathed in and out, slowly.

"Ok, I'm ready." She held out her hand and WHAP! Her fingers were hard and unyielding, crushed together by the invisible force of the spell. "Wow!" She turned her hand from side to side. "I see what you mean, it is weird. But not really bad...exactly..." She made a chopping motion with her hand like she had a sword and laughed. "This is fun! You want to go ahead and try the next one on me now?" The jelly finger curse should be even weirder, she thought.

A game? Sounded like a good idea. Nod. Nod. "Yeah I'm game for that." It would be a good way to learn without really the feeling of actual learning. "I just need to get this pronounciation right." Which hopefully with a bit more of repetition would be fixed in no time.

Petrificus Digitirus! Petrificus Digitirus! Now aloud. "Petrificus Digitirus" Aha! Bingo! She had the wording now. Perfect. But just then the Professor paused the rest of the class giving them yet another spell learn.

Gosh. This would be hard to keep up with. Nessie bit her lip and turned to Kurumi who was now uttering the second spell with no problem. Maybe the second one wasn't as bad? Well if it was, she'd cope with it later, now she wanted to perfect her first spell.

When Kurumi gave the heads up to go. Ness nodded and then feeling uneasy from the roof standing held tightly onto her wand, almost as though she was clutching it for life. She refused to let herself mess up though, especially since it wasn't her actual fingers."Petrificus Digitiris" She said it unknowingly incorrectly and then did the upside down 'U' movement and waited for Kurumi's reaction to see whether it had worked or not.

Ella smiled, shaking her head. "No, don't worry!" Honest. It really wasn't a big deal. "I'm actually kind of enjoying the awkwardness that is my hand right now." Giggle. Not that she wanted to be stuck like this forever or anything...that wouldn't be good.

The third year smiled as Eliza examined her hand, a knowing look on her face. "Right?" It was weird...but like a cool weird. If that made any sense at all...which it totally didn't. She giggled as the first year made the chopping motion, amused. "Yeah...yeah, I can do that. But first...Finite!" And now she'd need to practice the other incantation.

"Alright...Professor Romanos said it's important we get the incantation right so... Torp-ar-ticus...Torp-ar-ticus....Torp-ar-ticus... Torparticus... Torparticus" Okay...not so bad, now to try it out.

"Ready?" Because Ella was...kind of. Pointing her wand, the third year made sure to only aim at her partner's fingers and made the jabbing motion. "Torparticus!"

Blink. Blink.

"Anything?"

Finally Cassia reached the ceiling and stood there…how cool saying that was. Her bangs of course fell and she was glad that she had her short hair in a tiny ponytail. Wouldn't be so awesome if her hair was loose. She then turned her attention to professor Romanos and what she was telling them about the incantations and the movements. Partners? Nope, thank you very much Cassia wouldn't want anyone to practice on her. And actually it would be safer if she didn’t too. At least if anything wrong happened she'd only have to deal with herself. Unlike if she plucked hurt someone's fingers.

So glad that her wand in her pocket Cassia smiled and retrieved it .If the wand was down there Cassia wouldn’t have made the trip down there to get it then coming here again. Anyway, all good now. Taking a deep the second-year tried to forget that she was upside down. She focused on an area on the wall that didn’t look so turned over.

"Pet..rif..icus Dig.itir.us "Cassia spelled slowly. Romanos said that it was important to say the incantation clearly and Cassia didn’t want any unwanted results. So she would make sure to say it clearly. "Petrificus Digitirus.. Petrificus Digitirus" She repeated trying the movements with the free hand that didn’t clutch the wand.

After about a couple of minutes of practicing, she decided that it was time to try it. And she saw that some students were doing it successfully so it shouldn’t be that hard. Hopefully.

She aimed wand at her free left hand and drawing a U shape she uttered," Petrificus Digitirus" And immediately she felt a tug at her hand and her fingers went numb and frozen. She tried to bend them but with no success.
Turning her hand over examining how It looked stiff. She admired the spell. Not really the spell but her own performance. Could come in handy this one. Though she couldn't imagine herself casting it on anyone. Not to mention that she was likely to forget the incantation very soon.

Satisfied with her progress, she pointed her wand at her hand again and murmured, "Finite." And her hand was back to normal. Now the next one.

Sierra had just about been ready to give the first spell another go when she heard the professor's voice over the crowd of students. Sierra paused in place and turned her head the best way she knew how. She was climbing the wall like a spider, after all.

Ooookay. She hadn't exactly gotten the hang of the first spell yet. She'd only gone over the wand movement and incantation. Seeing that class was coming to a close soon, though, she should at least do something with this second spell. Another incantation and wand movement practice it'd be.

Sierra started with the incantation. "Torparticus," she said aloud. "Torparticus." Weird little word. Then again, all incantations were. "Torparticus." Then it was on to the wand movement. She took her wand and, without saying the incantion, she jabbed forward a few times. That was an easy movement, as it seemed to be the movement for a lot of the spells they learned.

Belle heard the professor's instructions. Now they were learning a new spell called "Torparticus." That was a cool word too. Belle decided to practice it before she preformed it on her friend. "Now Minnie once i preform it, you will feel the feeling of your arm falling asleep." Belle knew that feeling too many times to count. Pin and Needles is what she would call it.

Belle was kind of nervous but she felt confident. Belle's wand never failed her before. She was doing the simple jab motions to the wall first and said "Tor-part-icus...Tor-part-icus...Tor-part-icus..." Three or four more times with the short jab.

"Alright i am ready.." Belle said with a breath of calmness. She was confident. Belle pointed her wand at Minnie's non wand hand. Then she said "Torparticus!" loud and clear and did the short jab. After Belle preformed the spell, Belle asked how Minnie's hand felt. "How is your hand feeling Minnie?"

Eliza looked at her blade hand a moment more before Ella ended the spell. She slowly curled and uncurled her fingers, glad to be able to again. She was having so much fun, she almost forgot that half the fun was being on the ceiling. Yeah, exactly. It's weird." She looked down towards the ground to see the other students practicing. "How cool is being on the ceiling though! These sticking charms are awesome!"

As Ella prepared for the next spell, Eliza tried to imagine what it would be like. The professor said it was like when your legs fell asleep, so it was a relief to know her fingers wouldn't actually flop over all wiggly like jello. No bone mending today, thank you very much. Still, she wanted to practice aloud. She tried to say the word herself as Ella was practicing it too. "Yeah, good idea. Torp-ar-ti-cus, Tor-par-ti-cus." She made extra sure that she got the r sound in there. For some reason it seemed to be giving her trouble. Good thing she's going first...

Ella cast the spell and Eliza's fingers began to tingle slightly. She tried to wiggle them and found that she still could. They weren't so asleep that they couldn't be made useful. She looked up at Ella and said, "Well...they're sort of tingly," trying to be encouraging. "Maybe you should try it again. I bet the second time will really be good!" She smiled and held her hand out again for further practice.

Cora took a deep breath, preparing herself for the spell ahead of her. She shook slightly as she pointed her wand at her hand.

"Petrificus Digitirus."

Nothing happened. Cora knew you had to MEAN it when you did any spell, but how could Cora actively bind her fingers together? So Cora tried again, louder this time. "PETRIFICUS DIGITIRUS." Again, it didn't work. Cora didn't actually want her fingers bound, but she desperately wanted to impress the professor. At this point, she had already failed in this. She wondered if anyone wanted to pair with her.

Maybe performing on someone else would be easier?
