Up a small, spiral staircase near the charms classroom is where the Charms Practice Room is located. The room is circular and fair enough in size and can hold about twenty students comfortably. There is a fireplace in the stone wall for when the days get colder, but don't try to floo yourself out, as it is not part of the flooing network.

Students are allowed and encouraged to use this room for practicing their charms and completing their homework for Charms class only. Students found doing other, non-charms-related activities in this room will be sent out and possibly punished, depending on Professor Fuller's mood.

OOC: You may RP your student here whenever you like, just make sure they are doing something related to Charms. Feel free to team up with other students for practice and, most importantly, have fun!

Charms. Homework. That was why he was here.

Reaching the top of the spiral staircase, Alec stepped out into the circular room where he had heard they could practice some Charms work. So that's why he was here. Homework, you see. After a year of quite rigorous ~~(not really)~~ studying, he had grown quite used to doing homework almost close to the deadline. And this was nearly one of those cases.

And WHOA, look how full the place was! BLINK. Would they be able to throw balls around without it randomly veering off course and hitting someone around the head? ... He hoped so!

Spotting a window off to one side, the seventeen year old headed over and set his bag down, ignoring the way it slumped over on the ground. Those... were probably the sports balls he had brought along. He leant back against the ledge and looked around the room. Maybe... maybe he should have brought a sign along as well. Yeah. 'Need a partner for Charms homework: willing the make pancakes afterwards'. This seemed legit.

Also. No staring. That was creepy.

Zahra had been waiting and watching for a PRIME TIME opportunity to steal that one Gryffindor girl SARUUUUUUGGGHHHHH's ball.

Then peg her in the head with her ball "on accident" since she'd been rude to Professor FULLER.

But in the end, she let her conscience be her guide and knew her mother would be disappointed if she really stole someone's ball and threw at it them, regardless of the reason.

He was standing there. Looking around. Essentially being somewhat creepy in his search for a partner. Great. Just... great. The boy shuffled a little in his spot

And then came a puff of wind.

BLINK. Alec jumped, a little surprised at the random wind. What was...? He turned around and started checking the windows. Nope. Nothing. Deciding that he was probably imagining things, he turned away again and that's when his eyes landed on... a girl. A small girl. Not a SCARY girl though, right? Although, Gryffindor girls can be scary. Just look at Hulk and Penelope! ... Exactly. He smiled at her before turning away again.

... Right. He was here for a REASON. The Hufflepuff took out a large ball from his bag and tossed it up into the air before catching it again. Maybe if he LOOKED like he was ready to Charms about, someone will end up coming up to him. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

Zahra had to blow off some STEAM, plus she was SUPPPPOSED to be like... doing charms or whatever.

So when THIS PUFFY BOY threw that ball up again, she took a RUN AND A JUMP and did a muggle-NBA style BALL SMACKING.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

...

HAHAHAHAH HE HADN"T SEEN THAT COMING AT ALL. Because he was a Puffy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"I'm sorry. I'll go get it back for you."
HAHAHAHAHA

Zahra traipsed across the room, retrieved his ball.... and CHUCKED IT AT HIM THINK FAST PUFFY!

Reflexively, she just leaned out of the way, but her wand was out now, so she should probably use it.

"Arresto momentum!" she said and the second one slowed in midair. No, that wasn't what she wanted she wanted it to stop- but before she got a chance to try recasting the spell, a small rubber ball hit her on her right shoulder. "OW!" Adrienne exclaimed, her voice coming out embarrassingly high. She opened her mouth to berate Tora about it, but there were more balls flying towards her. "Arresto momentum," she said again, and to her relief the whole group slowed down. Except for one of them, that was thrown after she cast the spell, but thankfully she managed to bat that one off of its course towards her face.

Adrienne simply began hurling them back in Tora's direction, and she got so into it that she actually drop-kicked one of the slow-moving midair balls. Heh. That was fun.

Now this was getting fun! It had started with Tora just angry at Adrienne for being late, but now it was more a play- battle than anything else. "Arresto Momentum!" She shouted slowing all the balls that she could at once. She then quickly stooped to pick up the original bag that held all the balls in the first place and nabbed them as they were still slowly moving through the air.

Unfortunately, the balls in the bag were still moving as Tora didn't actually stop them. Thus she found herself being pulled by the bag that she now held. She dug in her heels and tried to turn it around. Failing to do so, she frantically reached into her pocket to pull out her wand (which she had stowed in order to herd all the individual balls into the large bag) and Arresto Momentum-ed them so they were completely stopped.

Now that she had one huge bag, she could really give Adrienne a challenge. "Let's see if you can stop this!" she shouted from the other side of the bag while using magic to speed it towards Adrienne. She laughed out loud. Try stopping that one!

Alec hadn't seen that coming. Nope. Not at all. He was just busy throwing the ball up and catching it again. No big deal, yeah? But it was at that moment when a ninja -- A NINJA -- came out of nowhere and SMACKED his ball away.

And what was he doing? Blinking in surprise. And staring. HIS BALL!

He turned his head slowly to look at the blonde haired girl, his mouth hanging open slightly. Word. He needed words! Instead, he nodded at her as she went to retrieve the ball. That was nice of her. ... Yeah... really nice. Even if she had been the one to chuck the ball away, right? Yeah? But still... very ni--

INCOMIIIIIING!

His eyes widened and he, naturally, held up his wand. WHAT WAS THIS GIRL TRYING TO DO TO HIM?! ... Although, this reminded him a lot of Charms with the-- ... HEY. "ARRESTO MOMENTUM!" And waaaaave, went the wand. It was the only way, right? Fuller had said something about faces being attacked and this being a good way to stop or slow things down. Plus, he had a girlfriend. Ruining his face was a no-no.

But it stopped! RIGHT near his face! He cast the Banishing Charm and sent the ball back towards the young Gryffindor. Don't get yourself hurt, little lady!

Adelaide set off to the Charms practice room to do her homework. She'd probably been putting it off for some time, but she had been trying to find someone to practice with her. In other words, waiting for someone to ask her to practice with them.

That didn't happen, so her she was. She looked around the room with all of the people practicing. Honestly, she was all right with doing the work by herself. Addi had always been an independent worker. Plus, she could get the work done faster and not have to wait on someone else. That was a plus, right?

Adelaide snagged her own little section of the room and set her bag on her table. She'd brought a couple of different things to practice with, figuring that was probably best. She grabbed the little mouse she'd been practicing with in class. Might as well start somewhere familiar.

Adelaide tossed the mouse up into the air, keeping it up over her head. She pointed her wand at the object and said, "Arresto momentum." She concentrated on slowing the object down. She grinned as it slowly floated towards her head. She backed up and caught the mouse in her hand.

He focused on the ball first, since it was small and bouncy and coming first. Just a wave of his wand and a little, "Arresto Momentum"... Somehow, luckily, Mo managed to stop the ball, and he turned his attention quickly (very quickly) to the apple.

Another wave of the wand and "Arresto Momentum." The apple stopped TOO, and Mo grinned happily. His smile faded, though, when the focus on the apple meant he was no longer stopping the ball. It shot forward and hit him in the eye, and Mo clapped both hands to his face with a yelp. Throwing two things was NOT allowed anymore.

He threw the apple back with a bit more intensity than required. "We have to toss both object at each OTHER at the same time. You throw the apple, and I'll throw the ball." Where WAS the ball?

Cat squeaked like a little mouse when the ball ran straight into Mo's face and hit him in the eye. Whoooopsieeee. That was her fault. HER FAULT. She'd just blinded the Ravenclaw Captain. All bets were off now. She was going dooowwwn. Except if she didn't stop the apple he'd just thrown at her, she'd get blinded as well. Cat focused her attention and her wand on the apple, "Arresto Momentum." STOP THAT APPLE. Okay, whew. When the apple stopped, Cat let out a breath and plucked it up as she walked the space between them.

"I'm sorry." Sad faces. "Let me see. Does it hurt? Are you blind? Your teammates are going to take turns throwing bludgers at me and that does not sound at all appealing." Awww. She'd broken the boyfriend, Cat felt bad. She picked up the ball and tossed it in the air. "Here. Try." Try and see if he wasn't BLINDED. She waited for a moment so he could get ready, and then she tossed the ball in the air.

GO BOYFRIEND. YOU CAN DO IT.

Now that her Arithmancy homework ~~for that daft and rubbish Professor, like was he even qualified?!~~ was finished, Charlie headed out of the Common Room with her bag, pencil tucked safely behind her ear and glasses pushed onto the top of her head.

She yawned a little as she entered the Practice Area, before sliding her glasses back onto her nose. Now, what was the homework again?

Slow things down, and make them stop.

Right.

Pulling the pencil from her hair, Charlie threw it into the air. "Aresto momentum!" And the pencil slowed, right in front of her nose. Smiling in spite of herself, the 'Claw bit her lip and caught the pencil in her hand, a feat she would not have been able to do if it had been travelling at full speed.

Nope, it would have been on the floor before she'd reached out.

Oh Merlin funny. Zahra was still cackling like a fool when ... THAT DUDE THREW THE BALL BACK AT HER WHAT.

She just straight up ducked. Ball dodged. What. As an after thought, she got her wand and CAST "ARRESTO MOMMYTUMMMM" ....after it. That was close enough. It didn't do anything to the ball, but.... she'd tried. Cool. COOL.

Then she went and GOT THE BALL.

And CHUCKED IT BACK AT PUFFY. Basically.... dodgeball was ON.

Nicola strolled into the Charms Practice Room twirling the ends of her hair around her fingers. Her blue eyes taking a look around at everyone from class already practicing away at the homework. As she placed her things down, she had to think to herself what it was that the stud muffin Professor had assigned again.

Oh right, his dreamy-self had told them to practice slowing down & stopping objects with Arresto Momentum just like they did in class. Easy enough for her.

She ruffled through her bag for a moment until she pulled out one of her hair clips, immediately tossing it up in the air above her. As it began to make it's decent back towards the redhead below, her wand was in her hand pointing upwards in a matter of seconds. Speaking clearly, "Arresto Momentum!" As it neared closer, it suddenly began to slow down, until it was close enough for the seventh year to grab it with her hand.

Like she thought, easy.

Nicola then scanned the room again until her eyes had settled on a younger looking girl with glasses who, like everyone else, was practicing away. She eyed her for a moment until she called over to her, "Hey, wanna partner up?" She flashed the younger girl a dazzling smile as she waited for a response. In the while of waiting, she rested one of her hands on her hip, not out of impatience or irritation, just force of habit probably.

Still biting down on her lip, Charlie couldn't help but think that it would be so much easier if she had someone to throw the stuff to her. Then she could focus on aiming the spell and not the object. Her throw sucked, especially seeing as that wasn't the main focus of the exercise and so she wasn't putting one hundred percent into it due to her concentrating on other things.

Like the spell.

Hm. Preparing herself to throw the pencil again, she stopped and spun around at the sound of the voice. Spotting an older girl, whom she was pretty sure was in her house, she motioned at herself questioningly, before making her way over to her. "Sure, might make this throwing thing a lot easier.

"Think fast," she added, before hurling the pencil towards her. Hehe.

Dude! The girl had just called him DUDE! Alec let out a chuckle and ruffled his hair with his wandless hand. "I'm glad you find my face funny," Or his expression. Whatever. He wasn't witty. But he WAS glad that she was laughing, even if it bruised his ego just a bit.

"You haven't been practising dodgeball, have you?" GRIN. Although, maybe it was just human instinct to dodge balls that were being aimed at you. Maybe. It would still make you good at dodgeball, though! Pity the school didn't fund for such activities.

And did she just say Arresto... Mommytum? Erm...? Should he correct her or...?

... But before he could do more than open his mouth to tell the girl, the BALL WAS BEING AIMED BACK AT HIM. ... RIGHT. This was... like a battle, yeah? Or a game. "Arresto Momentum!" he cried, waving his wand. The ball that had been flying towards his face... slowed down...

... and SMACKED him right on his face.

OUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!

Alec rubbed his face as the ball bounced onto the floor. And to think he wanted to come across as somewhat COOL. Yeah. Way to make a fool of yourself, Summers. He took a deep breath and picked up the ball again. His turn, yeah? The ball was held up and then thrown over towards the girl, though hopefully not towards her face because... THAT HAD HURT.

Team ronmione · 09-25-2013, 06:45 PM

There. Done with slowing down his soccer ball. Feeling proud of his accomplishment- and actually being successful with his magic- the little blonde boy simply smiled at himself. Yes, he was cheesy like that.

Going over to grab his little soccer ball Tag mentally went over his next section of homework, over in his head. Now he had to completely stop his object. That also seemed simple enough as he had just been doing with slowing his soccer ball down.

Tossing his ball like he had done in the past couple of minutes Tag watched it soar into the air and then, getting out his wand, he waved it in front of him and spoke out loud, "Arresto Momentum!"

He just stood there hoping that his object would pay attention to him and stop full force mid air. An, in his wait, he breathed out in relief when the little soccer ball merely stopped and floated in mid air for a few seconds before Tag accio-ed it back to himself.

The redhead studied the younger girl, unable to feel like she couldn't help but wonder if she'd seen her somewhere before. Hmm, was it possible they were in the same house? Maybe? Nicola couldn't quite put her finger on it at the moment, eh, ask better her later.

For now, they needed to get started.

She watched as the girl seemed a bit confused when Nicola had addressed her. It was almost a bit cute to see the girl motion to herself after Nicola spoke to her. In response to her motioning herself, Nicola nodded with another smile, "Yes, you.." As she made her way towards Nicola, she was about to answer her statement, until she had suddenly hurled a pencil towards the seventh year.

A soft gasp escaped her lips as she swiftly raised her wand aiming it at the quickly hurtling pencil. "Arresto Momentum!" Just like before with her hair clip, the pencil was soon slowing it's speed. "Way to catch a girl off guard, there.." Nicola giggled lightly, grabbing the pencil in her hands. She looked at the pencil for a moment. But it wasn't long at all before she had hurtled the pencil towards the younger girl in an attempt to catch her off guard as she had tried with Nicola.

Giggling slightly as she threw the pencil, she watched the red head stop it in the air and clapped a little as she caught it.

She didn't have long, however, before it came back to herself. "Aresto Momentum! Arresto Momentum!" It took her two tries, but eventually the pencil floated lazily toward her and she plucked it out of the air with a grin.

Couldn't be perfect all the time, could she?

"Another go?" Without waiting for a response, the pencil was back in the air.

.....HAHHAHAHAHAHAH FUNNY.

She tried to KARATE KICK that ball when it came her way, but she just straight up missed and fell because she was laughing THAT hard.

The ball actually ended up rolling back towards Zahra and DID try to "ARRESSHAHAHAHAHHAHAYOURFACE.....mOoOoohahahahahah a" CACKLESNORTDIE.

The ball didn't stop, just kept rolling back towards Puffy.

"Another go?" Without waiting for a response, the pencil was back in the air.

She was clapping? Clapping at what? Nicola looked at the girl and then quickly realized she was clapping at her, of course! For catching the pencil or was it for performing the Incantation? She wasn't really sure, but still, she was getting applauded for something. She smiled and flipped her hair out of her face to take a moment to acknowledge this. "Thank you, thank you.." She knew, she was brilliant. Nicola sighed feeling proud of herself.

When Nicola watched the girl panic a little bit trying to stop the pencil, saying the incantation twice, she was expecting it to hit her. She raised her wand preparing to stop it for her, but then thankfully the younger girl managed to stop it in time. Nicola breathed a small sigh of relief, then she returned the smile.

Another go? Of course! Nicola was up for it.

"Whenever you're ready!" Nicola could barely get that sentence out, because the pencil was once more hurtling towards her. She hesitated a moment but said it clear enough to be heard, "Arresto-Momentum!" At first, it hadn't slowed down, making her a little nervous, but then her relief kicked in once it had again slowed it's speed. She looked at her, "Did you want to slow it once more, then practice stopping it?" Nicola did believe that was what was required for the homework, if she did remember it correctly. "Slow it down!" Nicola quickly hurtled it towards her once more, being cautious with her wand ready in case the girl almost faltered again.

With his soccer ball in his hand Tag was going to get started on another practice session. Though, rather than just throwing it across the room he had decided on doing a bit different. Even if it wasn't that big of a difference in how it would be tossed.

Throwing straight up into the air, over his head, Tag waved his wand but the ball was already descending. Descending onto his hair that is. It bounced off his fluffy blonde hair and rolled around his feet before Tag even had the chance to say even the spell. Grabbing it once again Tag tossed it higher into the air, so that this time he had more time to say the spell.

And, as it rushed back towards him Tag waved his wand above his head- any types of dangers in the real world could come from any angle- and said "Arresto Momentum!" Just a few inches from the tips of his hair the soccer ball had came to a complete stop and froze. Tag reached his hand over his head and clutched the soccer ball.

She tried to KARATE KICK that ball when it came her way, but she just straight up missed and fell because she was laughing THAT hard.

The ball actually ended up rolling back towards Zahra and DID try to "ARRESSHAHAHAHAHHAHAYOURFACE.....mOoOoohahahahahah a" CACKLESNORTDIE.

The ball didn't stop, just kept rolling back towards Puffy.

He was being laughed at. LAUGHED AT. He shuffled a little uncomfortably on the spot but grinned at the girl. At least she was enjoying this? There was nothing wrong with THAT. Except... maybe she was enjoying it a little TOO much. What with the laugh and all.

AND THERE WAS A KARATE KICK. Now it was Alec's turn to laugh, which he did end up doing. Full on 'tilting his head back and laughing' kind of laugh. Except it was more from how funny her move was than her miss!kick and falling over. ~~Even if her kicking and missing was kind of funny.~~ "Are you okay?" he called, still grinning. MAN.

Right. Okay. Ball. The seventeen year old shook his head and bent down. Stop the ball. STOP IT. "Arresto Mommentum!" WAVE. And the ball...

... STOPPED. Good. He wasn't planning on getting hit by the ball again.

He picked up the ball, threw it up in the air before headbutting it over towards the girl. See? He could be COOL. Maybe. Not really.

She wasn't really sure, but still, she was getting applauded for something. She smiled and flipped her hair out of her face to take a moment to acknowledge this. "Thank you, thank you.." She knew, she was brilliant. Nicola sighed feeling proud of herself.

When Nicola watched the girl panic a little bit trying to stop the pencil, saying the incantation twice, she was expecting it to hit her. She raised her wand preparing to stop it for her, but then thankfully the younger girl managed to stop it in time. Nicola breathed a small sigh of relief, then she returned the smile.

Another go? Of course! Nicola was up for it.

"Whenever you're ready!" Nicola could barely get that sentence out, because the pencil was once more hurtling towards her. She hesitated a moment but said it clear enough to be heard, "Arresto-Momentum!" At first, it hadn't slowed down, making her a little nervous, but then her relief kicked in once it had again slowed it's speed. She looked at her, "Did you want to slow it once more, then practice stopping it?" Nicola did believe that was what was required for the homework, if she did remember it correctly. "Slow it down!" Nicola quickly hurtled it towards her once more, being cautious with her wand ready in case the girl almost faltered again.

Charlie giggled at the girls thank you's before she attempted the spell herself.

When she did attempt it, and falter, she blushed a little. The girl had totally raised her wand. She totally thought that she was going to fail. Charlie didn't want people to think that she was rubbish or anything, and so she mentally prepared herself as she saw the girl raise her arm to throw again. "That sounds right." she nodded, yeah, that was the homework, wasn't it? And this would be her third time slowing it down so...

Confidence. That was what it was all about, right? Con-fi-dence. She could do confident. Taking a breath, the fourth year raised her wand and steeled herself before speaking. "Arresto Momentum!" she cried, before taking in her success. She actually had to walk over to the pencil to grab it from the air, it was moving that slowly. Slowly, but not completely stopped. She grinned in spite of her self.

"Stopping it now, yeah?" she asked, before throwing the pencil in an arc at the other girl.

Time to practise Charms. Best. Time. EVER.

Sophie wasn't really in a mood to do anything else at all apart from... Charms homework, actually. Well, not exactly, but since it involved practising Charms, then it totally counted.

The girl twirled her wand in her fingers as she walked into the practise room, placed her bag down and looked around. She was ready to start and didn't want to waste any time at all. And also... she felt like practising more than the one Charm they had learned in class.

AND SHE WOULD DO IT ALL NON-VERBALLY ASDFGHJK heckyes. She totes could do it nowwwwww and that was exciting! And it made her want to bounce off the walls, but she controlled herself and made her way to the centre of the room. Right. No flailing, Sophie. She could at least pretend to be normal.

Hmmm... where should she start? First it would be slowing down the object. Cool, no worries; she could do that. An object flying her way was in order, yes? Yes! The Hufflepuff turned on spot and pointed her wand at the first thing she saw. Oh, her bag. It was flying full speed towards her face now. Oh."Arresto Momentum!" She waved her wand and blinked as the bag slowed down. What! No! She was supposed to have done it non-verbally! Wassup, brain!? Merlin.

Sophie held out her free hand and held her bag. Come oonnnn! Nonverbals! She had mastered that already! ~~Hopefully.~~ With a swish and a flick of her wand, the sixth year made her bag fly back to where she had dropped it when she entered the room.

Adelaide smiled, setting the mouse back down on the table. Time for something heavier and bigger. Meaning something a little bit more difficult. She had to be able to do the spell successfully after all and just constantly using a little tiny toy mouse wasn't going to do much.

Addi sat down with her bag, digging around for the big book she'd brought. She was going to have to do this a little differently because there was no way she could safely throw this thing in the air without the risk of hitting someone else. She set the book on the table and backed away from it with her back to the wall and making sure to stay out of everyone else's space.

Adelaide turned around, "Accio!" She watched as the book came shooting towards her. "Arresto momentum!" So that slowed it. A bit. But it was still coming. She ducked and heard the book hit the wall. Oops.

She went and sat it back on the table before standing before the wall again. She took a deep breath. "Accio!" The book came flying at her once again. "Arresto momentum!" She smiled as it slowed, just enough so she had plenty of time to hold her arm out and catch it. Twice successful.

Aha! An, this was the last time Tag would have to do this..... For homework. That is. Finally.

Once again, just like the so many previous times he'd down this, Tag mentally said the charm in his head, just to remind himself. And the little boy released the soccer ball from his hand, and threw it upwards, over his head, again. With his wand out Tag used that waving motion they were supposed to practice in order to make the spell a success and said "Arresto Momentum!" Hopefully for the last time today?

The ball soared upwards and upwards before it started to come back down near Tag. It still kept falling. "Arresto Momentum!" He repeated more quickly.

Success! The soccer ball stopped a few short inches from the ground. Sure, it'd taken Tag some time to get it done, but he had actually accomplished it.

Marissa tossed the ball in the air for a third time and focused on it slowing down, waved her wand and said,"Arresto momomentum." The ball slowed down and she caught it.

Having slowed the ball three times she tossed the ball in the air again this time focusing on stopping the ball. "Arresto momentum." she said with the wave off her wand and watched as the ball slowed again instead of stopping.
