| Term 36: January - April 2014 Term Thirty-Six: Aging Staff and Students (September 2082 - June 2083) |

01-31-2014, 05:12 AM
| | Charms 1 Welcome to the first Charms lesson of the new term! As you open the door to enter the charms classroom, you will find something that you will not recognize or expect. The familiar classroom seems to have transformed into something much more magical.
Instead of four stone walls that trap you with your fellow smelly classmates, all you can see for miles is rolling green hills, with pretty little daisy flowers planted here and there. The sun is high in the sky and small patches of fluffy clouds slowly drift overhead. A little stream can be heard in the distance as a calm breeze rolls through.
Feel like taking a nap? Blankets have been set up under the shade of a tall maple tree. Craving some sweets? Some plates of cookies and brownies have been placed on the soft, cushy grass here and there. Fancy a nice cup of tea? You'll probably find a tea kettle around here somewhere, as well as anything else your little teenager heart desires. It's like a daydream...
Oh, and Professor Fuller is nowhere to be found. Typical. OOC: Welcooooome, students. Do whatever you want (within reason). Class will begin in 24 hours. OOC: Class has now started! If you just got here, feel free to join in, but don't RP your character arriving late. Just pretend they've been here all along!
Class progression:
1. A wild Fuller appears. And asks a question.
2. Daydream charm and another question.
3. Practical portion instructions. |

The smell was what gave Tobias his inspiration. Or rather, the need to get AWAY from the spell. He had an idea set in his mind, knew exactly what he wanted. Again, because of his overactive imagination, he didn't find it at all difficult to picture exactly what he wanted, as though the scene was already waiting for him when he shut his eyes.
Okay, so here goes.
Tobias pointed his wand over the goblet of water and did the circling thing that Fuller had done. "Sentio Somnium," he said, concentrating super hard.
Nothing happened. Tobias was sure that something was supposed to go into the goblet when he cast the spell. But maybe he'd missed it; his eyesight was, after all, getting quite bad.
So he decided to just take a sip anyway. Just a tiny one. And he squeezed his eyes shut as he did so...
... but when he opened them, there was just a classroom. This was not his daydream.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Lyla Rivers Gryffindor Graduated Hogwarts RPG Name: Sylvie Fraser Ravenclaw Fourth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Nari Quinn Hufflepuff Second Year | Post 4 ♡ A heart full of Love l ☾ A night bright as Day l
WAS THAT A BIG FLUFFY TEDDY BEAR?!
Her mouth dropped again as she motioned towards the stand with plush & fluffy toys that made her want to scream out loud! It was all so overwhelming, she could barely even contain herself! But alas, she had to win the teddy bear in order for her to hold & cuddle it! From the looks of it, she had to hit a target with one of those little square bags filled with sand.
SHE COULD DO THAT!
Eagerly picking one up in her hands, she lifted her arm & threw it as hard as she could. But..sadly she missed it. Josette frowned a little bit before grabbing another one determined to hit this target, which thankfully SHE DID! She jumped up and down squealing as her arms reached up grabbing onto the fluffy teddy bear! Josette squeezed the teddy bear for a good few moments until a thought struck her: she was only in her daydream & this wasn't real. Not only that, her father would never take her to a carnival, he told her it was too dangerous & the perfect place for some stranger to try & take her. She sighed looking down at her teddy bear before softly muttering, "Finite.." She watched as the teddy bear disappeared in her arms & she was no longer at a fun-filled carnival, but in the familiar classroom that she had been in a while ago. Josette placed her arm on her desk & rested her chin on her hand as she looked to the scary Professor waiting for what would happen next.

| Post 1 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Now the professor was yelling.
Ben winched again, the loud sound of the man's voice hurting his ears. Could they stop with the yelling please? It was beginning to get reaaaaaallllly annoying. The second year sighed as continued practicing the spell until they were turned onto better things...like actually casting the spell and testing it out for themselves.
Wand out, Ben listened carefully as the instructions were given out to them. The second year paying strict attention as he didn't want anything to go wrong. Especially since he himself was going to be drinking the water and having whatever happened in response to the spell happen to him or something else entirely. He already had enough dangers to worry about in potions class. Professor Fuller demonstrated the correct way to do it, now he just had to mimic it and hope all went well.
Spell...circling...daydream. Spell...circling...daydream.
Spell...circling...daydream. It seemed simple enough but that was just what it seemed like. It didn't have to be, the professor could simply have made it that way given experience. Ben mentally berated himself before taking a deep breath to prepare himself. He could do it. "Sentio Somnium," he finally cast, moving his wand into a circle over the top of the water goblet. A faint image appearing in his mind as he thought on a daydream. However there was no purple light. No purple light...no success.
Sigh.

So he had the wand movement and the incantation down. He just needed to perfect them so that he could make his charm more potent. Although the last one was actually quite vivid for the little Slytherin, he wanted to see if he could emulate the tactile sensation that Professor Fuller's daydream had done for them all at the beginning of class.
"Sentio Somnium!" His worn cartilage creaked as he performed the charm over his glass of water. This time he knew he'd seen the purple flash of light about his water. He stared at the cup for a minute or two before drawing his legs up and scooting in his seat. He took a drink from the glass and placed it back onto the surface of his desk shutting his eyes momentarily and listening as the sounds of others casting, and tappy sounds as wands were placed down and picked up and hit against things accidentally faded into a sort of white noise. Brightness surrounded him from a high noon sun and although Cutty could see it, he did not feel any warmth from it. The thought passed through his mind as he took in the scenery; white sky, gulls, and ocean as far as he could see, that he would not be able to feel anything in this daydream. A breeze blew in and however and faint and imagined, Cutty would count it as a step in the direction he wanted to go.

Ana had squeezed her eyes shut when she drank and so she cracked one eye open apprehensively. It didn't seem to be the classroom. She hesitantly opened her other eye and laughed in delight.
It was exactly what she remembered, exactly what she'd imagined when she closed her eyes. She was in her old bedroom from before she'd had to move in with her mother and stepfather. She loved her room there of course but this was different. This was the room from her childhood.
The walls were a pretty lavender and the dragon mobile was swinging up above the chaise, where her cot had been when she was just a baby. Her large canopy bed took up one wall and her collection of bears, kitties, dragons, unicorns, puppies and penguins took up one side of it. She moved over and picked one up, hugging it close to herself as she felt the memories wash over.
She missed this room.

Alex regrouped nd prepared for her second try. Taking a deep breath, she once again tried to clear her mind and tune out distractions. She began to picture her family at home. Her Mom and Dad sitting in the family room and her little brother playing his video games. She imagined the smell of Mom's famous lasagna coming from the kitchen. Alex pictured herself sitting in her favorite chair watching a movie.
Confident that her visualization was strong enough this time, Alex readied her wand. Trying to keep the picture in her mind, she made a circular movement over her goblet. Saying, "Sentio Somnium", Alex took a sip of water, saw a purple light and........she was home.
She was home with her family, comfortably resting in her chair. It was so real. Alex ran to her family members one by one and hugged them, while she could. Did she have time for lasagna before she had to be back in reality? Probably not. Well, maybe a few bites. She went to the kitchen and cut herself a small square. Mmmmmm, it was just as good as she remembered. Alex knew hat her time was short so she hugged her family again and sadly said, "Finite". Just like that, Alex was back in the Charms classroom. She was happy that she was successful with her daydream charm, bit sad that seeing her family was just pretend.

| Post 4 curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog Still in his daydream, Caleb wondered if he thought about Belle, their old collie, if she'd appear even though she had passed a while ago. Hmmmm. Petting the Daydream!Baldwin as he played with his rawhide bone on the floor, he closed his eyes and tried to picture her. Her pretty long coat, her high pitched bark, the way she'd roll around on his bed getting fur everyone like she was marking her territory...
When he opened his eyes, he sighed. No Belle. It must have been because she wasn't around anymore, or maybe because his memory of her wasn't that great. Ah well. At least he had pretend Baldwin to play with!

There was still plenty of water in the goblet; Toby could try this spell dozens of times and still have enough water. He pulled the goblet into a better position and knelt up in his chair so he had a little more height. "Sentio Somnium," Tobias said, circling his wand over the goblet and thinking really hard about the daydream he wanted. This time it definitely happened; something small and faint but very much purple fell into his goblet from the tip of his want.
Toby smiled and picked up the goblet, before raising it to his lips and taking a sip. At the last second he shut his eyes. He didn't suppose it made any difference; it was just personal preference.
When he opened them again, the sight was a bit confusing. It was weird, because he wasn't quite looking at the classroom, but it wasn't his daydream either. It was a strange mix between the two, as if someone had created a mash-up of the room he was in and the room he was imagining.
It was strange and unfamiliar and slightly off-putting, not to mention he was getting a weird headache from looking at it, so Tobias decided he would simply try again. "Finite."

| Post 3, Welcome, Professor 3> Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy!
Wow, this was pretty bad. Mikey was standing really close to Tag. Yep, he'd definitely gone deaf if he had to go that close to the blonde.
Then Mikey was just repeating what Tag had instructed him to do. Probably just so Tag could tell Mikey knew exactly what he had to do. The blonde boy nodded his head several times and gave his fellow Gryffindor a thumbs up.
Tag really needed to get working on his daydream. But what if Mikey needed his help and couldn't exactly contact Tag or something while he was in his daydream? But, for the meantime, he just watched the younger student continue his work.
Nope. No trouble in hearing as well.
It wouldn't harm Mikey to try and fix him. And besides, if Mikey hadn't been jinxed or something, Tag's spell on him shouldn't hurt him in anyway. This was all seeming vaguely familiar to the time he'd gotten his tongue stuck to the top of his mouth last year, in class, by those stupid foreign students. He put his wand somewhat near, but not too near Mikey's face and remembered the spell Wade had used on him last year, " Finite..." Did that work, Mikey? Had it even been necessary enough to use? Was it necessary? Was the better question.
..... Poor Professor Fuller. Well, Tag was already on the job. Rather late, weren't you, Fuller? Did anyone else need Tag to give him instructions to what to do in class? He was more than happy to help. Ouch. And he was almost forcing them out of the classroom. Almost. Tag just looked at him and shrugged his shoulders, said nothing. He had nothing against the Professor, but, dude, take a chill pill. Or maybe he was too chill.

| Post #3 HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more The liquid had glided easily down Terry's throat and he had closed his eyes to vividly remember what his daydream looked like, what he could smell, taste. It seemed so realistic that the Slytherin had to open his eyes, only to be received with exactly the same image that was firmly implanted in his head.
That was strange.
Terry took 4 tentative steps forward, noticing that he was at the foot of a hill next to a winding river. He could hear the sounds of the water and his eyes lit up as the familiar call of a Hippogriff ripped its way through the valley. He looked up, noticing the magnificent creature with its wings outstretched soaring above him. He sighed, content within his daydream.
This was definitely a spell he'd be happy to use on more than one occasion. It would be a great stress relief after all.

Alright so something wasn't working with his daydream. Was it because he thought it was odd when he daydreamed all the time anyway? Maybe that was the problem. Maybe he needed to clear his mind completely and just do it not really thinking of anything and whatever comes up comes up.
Circling the glass with his wand, "Sentio Somnium" Alright here goes nothing. He looked at the glass. Now it was going to work, right. He said the words correctly from what he figured and did the wand movement, but look at Ella petting a desk. He laughed a bit, then looked at the others making weird faces and doing weird things like they were actually where they saw.
This was great just to watch and quickly his mind forgot about what he was doing again. He stood with a blank stare. Oh right glass, he took a sip of the water and looked around.
NOTHING!!!

Ian looked around and saw other students trying the words out on the board. Hmmm...maybe I ought not to drink all the water. He tried out the words some on the board. Sentio Somnium! Sentio Somnium! Sentio Sontium!
He watched other students and saw them pointing their wands at their goblets and saying the words. It shouldn't be too hard, right?

"At least I got to see him again" cried Mizu. He wiped his face with his sleeve and went back to his seat."Come on Mizu just think happy thoughts"Mizu said to himself.Maybe he'd try another one to make him feel better, but he just wasn't sure what it could be.

| Post #2 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna With the failure of his first attempt, Ben put down his wand to look over his notes. He needed to figure out just what he might have done wrong. Pronunciation...the incantation had sounded alright when he had said it, at least to the point it resembled what the professor himself had said in his demonstration. "Sentio Sontium...Sentio Sontium...Sentio Sontium," he repeated for a bit. And it also sounded like the words coming out of the mouths of the other students so the pronunciation didn't seem like it was the problem with his work.
Maybe it was his wand movement.
Picking up his wand once more, the second year began to practice working out the circling gesture. First on its own and then over the rim of the goblet which was how it had to be done and how he had done it. That too seemed to be right in his approach so that crossed wand movement off his list of possible issues with the spell casting. That only left one thing...
Intent.

| Post #4 HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more The Slytherin had continued to walk through the valley with a grin on his face. He sat down next to the river, his eyes lighting up as he could see the fish swimming downstream, the water being so clear that he could practically drink from it. He drew his knees up to his chest and rested his chin on them as he watched for a few minutes, getting completely lost in the dream and not keeping track of what the time was.
Until he suddenly realised that he couldn't stay here forever and he was in the middle of a class. He shook his head, drawing out his wand before whispering, as if not to disturb the creatures of his daydream. "Finite" he sighed as he came back to reality, the classroom coming back into view and the rest of the students practicing their spells. He wrinkled his nose in protest of having to leave. He rather enjoyed the stress relief it gave him and he definitely would be trying it out again. Okay then, now to just wait for everyone else to finish he supposed.

She had the incantation down all she needed was intent and a daydream. Thinking one up was the easy part. Beverly could already envision her happy place. Just thinking about it gave her a warm feeling, which was quickly interrupted by the yelling. -________-
Could they keep their voices DOWN! WHERE WERE THEIR MANNERS?
And yeah, she spotted Train Boy. Could he like, be kind and turn it down a notch? She'd really appreciate it. Woah. Since when did she sound like Bacchus III? Without all the obscenities, of course.
Ergh. She need guidance. Yep. At the end of the lesson she'll go search for this guidance. For now, her focus had to be solely on the charm spell.
Circling her wand over the goblet, Beverly shot all of her focus into the charm escaping her lips, and on her goal. "Sentio Somnium."

Alright he was getting angry frustrated, but what did Professor History Man say to walk away and come back when frustrated. He decided to take a walk around the classroom. He watched the others doing their daydreams which kind of frustrated him more, but the walking was good. He wished he had something like a cane to balance him though, maybe he would need to get one soon.
Making his way back to his glass and pulled his wand out again. Took a deep breath and made the circle over the glass, "Sentio Somnium" He saw something come out of his wand. Was that the day dream? He picked up the glass and took a drink.
blink...
blink...
He was flying on the pitch.. It was the game he had the quaffle.. This was so cool. He saw the chance and took it throwing the quaffle..HE SCORED!!! That was amazing everyone was cheering his name. Landing on the pitch he looked to the stands wow this was amazing. They won and he helped win by scoring. He turned hearing his name and it was the Captain coming over to him.
She was smiling at him, wow she had such a pretty smile, but why was he noticing her smile and why was she leaning down. She kissed him.. DID ANYONE SEE THIS.. ALICE FISCHER WAS SNOGGING HIM.
Of course he was going to snog back. He leaned his head and kissed her. This was amazing!!
but wait..... why would Alice snog him and why would he want to snog her.. Merlin "Finite"
The daydream ended and he looked around. Was he kissing the air? Did anyone see? He adjusted himself awkwardly in the desk and slouched down. Maybe he just hide here at his desk until class was over.

He was out of that daydream, and had been for a good few minutes, but his headache was persisting. And it was COLD in here. Toby took a moment to wrap his arms around himself to try to keep all his body heat in.
But he couldn't just sit there forever; Tobias decided that if he didn't get it done this time then he was giving up, which was... a very non-Tobias thing to decide. But there it was. "Sentio Somnium," Tobias cast, circling his wand over the goblet and willing for the spell to work, for him to get to try out this daydream thing today. He was desperate to try it. For reasons.
The purple thing fell into his goblet, but Tobias hesitated for a moment before picking the water up, apparently thinking hard. In the end, the Hufflepuff bit his lip and grabbed the water goblet. He gave one resolute nod, raised the goblet to his lips, closed his eyes, and took a sip.
When he opened them, he was finally there.
Tobias was sat at the kitchen table back home. There was gorgeous smell of baking bread wafting around the room, and the windows were thrown open to tempt in a summer breeze. Nobody else was in here, but Tobias couldn't even remember if he'd intended for there to be anyone here. All he'd been picturing was home. This kitchen, which was where he and his grandparents would often sit and talk of an evening in the summer.
He got up out of his seat and moved to the window. This was pleasant, but the fact that Tobias knew it wasn't real meant that it didn't feel real at all, not even close, not like at the one at the start of the lesson. Or was it just that his magic wasn't good enough.
There came a noise from somewhere behind him, growing louder. Tobias knew this house, every creak and groan as it settled, the footstep of every inhabitant. Suddenly, it all felt a lot more real.
Slowly, Tobias turned around. As he did so, the door to the kitchen, which stood ajar, was pushed open. In walked his grandmother, followed by his grandfather, the latter of whom now quite apparently alive and well.
He would never be able to explain why, not out loud, not to just any old person, but Tobias knew he didn't want (need?) to see anymore. He raised his wand and very calmly cancelled the daydream with a "Finite."
The visions before and around him disappeared, and Tobias found himself stood in the classroom with the window behind him. He took a steadying breath and went to sit back at his desk. The third year was not feeling well, not at all. He sat down and placed his wand on his desk, but did nothing else. Tobias, now quite pale, just sat in silence and willed the lesson to be over so he could go and get a pepper-up potion or something from the Healer.

| Post #3 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Maybe he needed to focus more on the daydream as he cast. It was supposed to be done at the same time as the rest of the process, instructed as much by the professor. Except Ben had been more focused on the other aspects of the spellwork. It seemed Ben needed to just be confident that the rest of his work would come naturally and just keep his attention on the imagery he would try the effects of the spell with. Easier said then done but no time like the present to try.
Anything to try and escape the yelling.
Ben closed his eyes and let his mind wander, letting it picture something pleasant. Not that the illusion still surrounding the class wasn't quite pleasant already. When he was satisfied, the second year opened his eyes once more so he could work. "Sentio Somnium," he cast again , circular wand movement over the glass and image in his head as he did so. He couldn't help smiling as the purple light appeared, settling into the goblet like it seemingly was supposed to.
Now he just had to drink it.

| Post 3 Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Glaring was happening at the goblet right now. The sixth year wasn't exactly sure what was in his cup and by cup he meant the daydream that was now swirling around inside of it, but he was nervous. One of two things was in there and the second of the two he was not keen on having in public, yeah? As in at all.
Stupid, stupid ugger face Professor thought he was so clever coming up with such a dumb assignment. S'not funny or cool and it was just about the dumbest charm he could have put in teenagers hands, yeah? At least in teenage boy's hands. Ascanius hated this and hated the not knowing bit as well.
But he swallowed his pride and the goblet and got a titch nervous.
As the world around him got glassy and started to morph into something else he had hoped that it would take on a concert stage. With a roaring audience chanting his band's name.
That was SO not what happened though. It was daydream number two.

Originally Posted by Colley What was Mo doing with her head?! Oh. So her hair had been mussed, then? Now it was better though, so that was always a good thing. "Umm." What did it smell like? Cat thought about that. "It smelled like... cold. You know? And blood. Yetis are sort of savage. I don't think I want to hug one anymore." She smiled, "It was a good daydream, Mo. Sort of scary and definitely cold but it was still good." And that was the truth. He had a good imagination.
So did she. She just needed to concentrate. "Okay. Hold on. Let me do this first." Cause she hadn't even made hers yet. Cat pondered, considering taking a page from Mo's book and putting him in the body of a killer shark, ripping and tearing into seals. But surely, surely that would make him a sad Mo, and she didn't like a sad Mo. Instead, Cat imagined a pretty, pretty place not much unlike the one Professor Fuller had thought up, except hers was different. Everything was made of FOOD, and even though it wasn't REAL food, it still smelled and tasted like it was. Trees, grass, flowers, even cotton candy clouds. There was also a chocolate river, just like in the room of the chocolate factory in that one book they'd read. Except her place was outside.
That was good. SWEET. Pun intended. She got her wand out and circled it around the water, thinking on her daydream again, "Sentio Somnium." It was like her wand squirted out a purple light and Cat picked up the goblet to observe the water. Hmm. She offered it to Mo. Mo couldn't stop grinning at Cat, even through the entire time it took her to charm her goblet of water and hand it over to him. He really wanted to drink his own goblet, to be honest, if only to see the yeti and be the yeti and see how he'd done with the cold. But it was only polite, and he wanted to see what Cat's daydream was. Like the good boyfriend he was.
"Bottom's up," Mo toasted Cat with her goblet before taking a sip. Now then... what was supposed to... be... happening? The classroom faded easily into a bright, grassy place, populated by trees hanging low with gummy leaves and candy apples, a chocolate river flowing along muddy dark chocolate banks, and spun sugar flowers. Mo picked one of the flowers and stuck it in his mouth as he continued to explore this extremely dangerously delicious place Cat had created.
Was this what it was like in her brain all the time? Sweet and colorful and delicious? He wished she was here with him to point out all the creations she'd imagined, but Mo dutifully captured everything to share with Cat later.
Speaking of Cat... " Finite." The candyland faded as the classroom reappeared, and Mo spit out the corner of his sleeve, which he'd been chewing in place of the sugar flower. "That was pretty, you clever girl," Mo grinned at Cat. "Makes me hungry, though."

| Post 2 Aidella | King of Confusion | Brittana | Forever ACROMANTULA Now Schuyler had been concentrating so hard on this image in her brain that she had even managed to tune out everyone around her. So when Alice asked what she was thinking about, it wasn't that she was ignoring her; she was just too deeply engrossed in this image that she wanted to transform into a daydream.
And you know what? The total focus paid off!
Because when she sipped from the goblet, the scene from her brain came alive.
A field of flowers upon flowers upon flowers. All the prettiest ones that she'd seen, in perfect bloom. Tall, orange-yellow-petaled sunflowers, her favorite, and white lilies and calla lilies and fox tails and amaryllises and orchids and sweetpeas and black-eyed Susans. Even Avalanche lilies, which were only supposed to be native to Mount Rainier in the northwest.
She found herself winding along through the flowers, skimming them with her fingertips. Not even the thorned stems drew blood or caused any prick of pain. Feeling the rays of sun warming her face, the Gryffindor smiled to herself and drew a light breath through her nostrils.
Despite the array of flowers, it only smelled of white lilies. Fresh and fragrant. It was her favorite flower scent.
Was there any felicity in the world superior to this?

Hogwarts RPG Name: Adrienne Rebecca Colbert Seventh Year | Post #1 The Last of Her Kind There was nobody around that Adrienne really wanted to try sharing her daydreams with, so she just pulled her wand out of her bag and tried to think of something interesting she could try to dream up. Something from a book she liked, perhaps? Or maybe somewhere she'd been before, like when she went to visit Paris. She looked towards the ceiling as she thought, blocking out the noise of everybody else trying out the spell and chatting with one another. It was several minutes before an idea that she liked came to her, but when it did a grin spread across her face. Yeah, that would definitely be fun. "Sentio Somnium," Adrienne said, waving her wand over the goblet. She waited for a moment, but nothing appeared to have changed. Was there supposed to be any visible difference? Peering into the goblet, she swirled around the water a little bit, but it looked perfectly normal to her. Shrugging internally, she tilted it and took a tiny sip. After she swallowed, she looked around expectantly, but... nothing. That was unexpected, and disappointing, and she slumped back into her chair. Everyone else seemed to be doing pretty well, which wasn't exactly lifting her spirits, so she crossed her arms and sighed, trying to decide whether the professor would notice if she didn't try again.

| Post 4 Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN When things started to mold into solid shapes in his mind's eye Ascanius decided that he really liked what was going on. Only a very small part of him was aware of the fact that this was a daydream because, like dreaming, it was hard to separate the dream from reality when it was happening. Everything seemed normal to him or at least normal given the circumstances.
But it was lovely and made his throat a tad dry and itchy.
It wasn't until some REALLY outrageous stuff started happening that he came to terms with the fact that this was a daydream. So he quickly fumbled for his wand and mumbled, "Finite."
Oh look. A classroom.
Hi room.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Adrienne Rebecca Colbert Seventh Year | Post #2 The Last of Her Kind With a sigh, Adrienne figured that she'd better actually try to get the spell right, even if she didn't manage very well. Picturing the scene she wanted in her head, she waved her wand somewhat halfheartedly over her goblet again and quietly spoke the incantation. "Sentio Somnium." This time, however, instead of the total lack of any change, she saw the water move and shimmer slightly. Did that mean that it had worked? She supposed there was only one way to find out...
She carefully sipped some water from it, and immediately things changed. The noise made by the other students faded, and was replaced by gentle piano music. Adrienne herself was no longer slouched in a desk, but perched on top of a large, squishy armchair. Books stacked as high as a person's waist surrounded her, and as she sat a suit-clad boy brought her an enormous tray of sweets, bowing as he did so. She could definitely get used to something like this! However, the spell wasn't all that strong, and she could still hear the noises of the classroom, though it sounded like they were all very far away. Even though she could look down and see the navy velvet of her armchair, she still felt the hard chair of the classroom uncomfortably pressing into her thigh.
Somewhat annoyed by the imperfection of the charm, since it really was a lovely fantasy, Adrienne quickly said "Finite!" and returned to the real world. Oh, what she wouldn't give to get to have it like that all the time!
