"Sure, go for it," Violet said confidently (maybe more confidently than she felt, but she'd never let that show). |
Quote:
"Let's do it," she said, reaching for her wand as well. Avalon shrugged indifferently at Kale's question if she wanted to go first. She didn't really care, either. It wasn't likely that either of them would mess it up....right? "Sure. I'll unfreeze you right after, don't worry." Normally, she would have made some sarcastic comment, or maybe something playful along the lines of "any last words." But she just didn't have it in her today. She was exhausted. Performing the spell properly was about all she could manage. Focusing her thoughts, she pointed her wand at Kale and performed the proper motion. "Immobulus!" |
The good thing about having a lesson about a spell she already knew was that Ivy didn't feel she had to worry about something going wrong with it during practice. At least, not as much as when it was a brand new spell. "Immobulus," she mumbled a couple times, just to get a feel for it again, watching as some of the others were quickly pairing up. She felt an abrupt inclination to pick a particular person as a partner, but she quickly shooed that strange, fleeting thought away. "I do, Minjae," she said, getting up from her chair as well. "You wanna go first? Or me?" |
SPOILER!!: Ashley! <3 Claudine, having been stuck with Ashley during the course of many long days {not that she was complaining}, was quite used to the other girl’s changed demeanour. And as usual, Claudine was trying to keep her mood from going too down in the dumps. “Nonsense,’’ the Snakette said, putting some enthusiasm into her voice. “Who would be my artist buddy then?’’ Without realising it, Claudine had gotten used to having Ashley around constantly. “Heath’s a terrible artist.’’ There was a quick wink to show that she was only teasing. Satisfied that she was all set to get on with the spell casting. “Alright. You ready?’’ Claudine tilted her head, already pulling together her concentration. “Here goes. Immobulus!’’ The incantation came out sharp and commanding. The wand movement was replicated exactly as Peralta had demonstrated. |
Quote:
Maybe I don't want to be frozen forever. I take it back... Unfreeze me please. Please... She liked being able to MOVE. To do anything. She couldn't be still. She wanted to be put back so bad. But she couldn't talk, could she? Claudine would just have to get it. |
L8 to the party! Anyone need a partner? Noah was finding it difficult to pay attention. His sleepiness was proving to be a challenge; however, he was aiming to stay awake in class. He couldn’t fall asleep the night prior. Heck- most nights he couldn’t find sleep. He was always worried about being woken up in the middle night by some scream or worse.... Rosier again. He nodded his head as the class had gone on. It was a way to keep himself still checked into the class before he started taking notes on what everyone was saying. Stay awake. Stay awaaaaaaaake. It took him a moment to realize that they were about to do the practical portion of class. When students started pairing up, he looked at his notes and quickly re-read them once more. Immobulus. Okay. He turned his gaze, looking for anyone who didn’t have a partner. Merlin.... he was running late to the game. “Anyone need a partner?” he asked. If not, he’d try to find a duo to join- if that was okay! |

Did it work? She grimaced hopefully while she waited to see if the third year could move. Maybe if she got this spell down it would come in handy in a duel |
Quote:
Hearing Ivy call his name he gave her a nod once, showing that he had agreed to work with her. Walking over to the young girl, Minjae took out his wand from his pocket and shrugged his shoulders. "I'll start" whatever. "Get ready" He waited for her to ready herself before he pointed his wand at her. Although it wasn't a charm that he used on a daily basis, it was still a grade 2 spell and the seventeen year old was confident in himself that he could perform it non-verbally. Almost all of his spells had been non-verbal this year so far and he did not want to stop using it now. The more he used it, the more surprise his defenses and attacks would have if he ever needed it. Using the correct wand movement, Minjae waved his wand. 'Immobulus!' |
Quote:
"Yeah, Immobulus is the incantation. Can you try to make me fall backwards and not forwards? I'm not getting good access to medical attention and I can't afford to break my nose again." She didn't mind the breaking so much, but it was likely to heal weird without a visit to Recard, and she was vain enough to care. Anyway, she'd go first OR WHATEVER. "Immobulus." Here's hoping she had enough intention to make something happen. |
Quote:
She also hadn't expected him to go nonverbal with the spell, so she was hit by it before she even realized it. And...yep, she was frozen in place. |
Catching up + snagging Noah SPOILER!!: Question 2 catchup All the talk of sharks went in one ear and out the other. That conversation was completely pointless… pointless but ultimately harmless. Heath would rather listen to that than the usual anti-muggle rhetoric and false hope that dominated the school these days, especially the latter. Anyway, Immobulus… could've been a worse lesson subject, could've been a better one. He already knew how to do that spell, and if he was going to be stuck in lessons, he would've preferred to learn something new. Still, he wasn't opposed to practicing it. At least it was a spell that could be useful, should he ever get the opportunity to take his revenge against Rosier. With the spell demonstration and activity instructions fresh in mind, Heath looked around the room for a partner, but it looked like everyone else was taken. He was about to give up and try to practice by himself when he heard Noah, and wasting no time, he beelined to the older boy. "Yeah," he replied, nodding. "Do you want to go first?" |

Fortunately, Immobulus was a spell he was quite familiar with. He had spent many hours trying to perfect the non-verbal incantation of it and well.... frankly struggled... He was alright at Charms. It wasn’t his best nor worst subject. And he had excelled at his OWL. Yet despite all of that- he still hadn’t figured out the non-verbal thing...... He’d got it three out of five times but had never nailed it. Hmph. Maybe he ought to practice more? “Ready?” he asked before assuming his preferred defensive dueling stance. As he readied himself, he emptied his mind and focused on the incantation. He couldn’t very well practice it too much in the room because he didn’t have his wand but he had his mind. His mind would be his practice room- a safe sanctuary where he could visualise the spell and other spells. Taking a deep breath in, he focused on repeating the incantation and visualizing the wand movement in his mind. “Immobulus,” he spoke quietly as he did the correct wand motion. Oh how he longed to use this spell on a couple other folks buuuuuut he was sure that it wouldn’t end well for him. Hmph. |
SPOILER!!: Moose Kiz was still hesitant, but she smile at Moose the tiniest bit when he struck his pose. "Perfect!" The little things. She tried to hold on to as many of those as possible. There weren't a whole lot these days, you know? Um. As for the spell, Kinsay tried not to look as worried as she felt, but she was starting to get nervous. Knowing that Moose was waiting for her, she twisted her wand around in her hands for a few moments and tried to hype herself up (not so easy). Ih-Mo-byoo-luhs. Ih-Mo-byoo-luhs. Ih-Mo-byoo-luhs. Okay she could do it. First Kiz needed to look around to make sure no one else was watching (in case she did it wrong), then she took a deep, deep breath. And then finally, she raised her wand. One eye closed, the other one all squinty and "Immobulus." .... Did it work? |

Okay, so Noah was going first. Heath took a deep breath, bracing himself for the spell to come. He wasn't too worried. This spell wasn't supposed to hurt, and surely Noah wouldn't leave him immobile, right? He nodded, showing that he was ready as he watched Noah get into the dueling stance. Then came the spell, and… Heath was frozen in place like an eerily lifelike statue, his unblinking dark eyes still focused on his partner. It didn't hurt; it just felt weird. Although he couldn't move, he could still see and hear everything going on near him. Okay, it worked, he thought. Can you unfreeze me now? Please? |

"Let's go over here where we have more room." Dahlia rose to her feet and moved to a clear spot in the classroom that they wouldn't accidentally hit anyone else with the charm. "Are you ready?" She waited for Camryn to stand across from her and for the verbal confirmation before raising her wand. "Alright... here we go.." "Immobulus," Lia cast making the movement for the charm as she spoke clearly. She tried her best to focus only on what she was doing and seeing ice form around her new friend but that isn't what happened. In fact, nothing at all happened. "Okay, that didn't go as planned. I'm going to try again." Clearing her throat, she tried to really visualize Camryn being frozen. See the ice. Feel the coldness of it. When she thought she was ready she tried again. "Immobulus!" Had anything happened? |
SPOILER!!: Dahlia Yay! She had someone to work with. Returning her partner’s smile, Camryn introduced herself. “Yep, Dahlia. Got it. I’m Camryn. Thanks for working with me.” The first year posse, yeah? Cam followed Dahlia’s suggestion and moved with her to a clear spot in the room. Wouldn’t want to hit anyone accidentally or get hit themselves. When Dahlia asked if she was ready, the Gryffindor said, “Ready. Fire away”. She stood still waiting for impact.......and nothing. She wasn’t frozen, at least not yet anyway. “That’s ok Dahlia, you got this.” Immobulus, take two. Dahlia sent another spell her way and this time it worked. Camryn was frozen. It was a weird feeling, but kind of cool at the same time. Of course she knew that the spell would soon be undone, so she was not worried. If it had happened outside of the classroom, well that would be an entirely different situation. For now, she just had to wait to be unfrozen. |
SPOILER!!: Ashley! <3 The Snakette was admittedly a little crushed by the fact that none of her attempts were really working to cheer Ashley up. This realisation also baffled her since it usually wasn’t her thing to really care about most humans. Whatever. There was work to be done. By the looks of it, her charm had worked! Claudine was over the moon about this because never had she used the spell on another human. She stood there for a couple of seconds, wondering what it was like to be under the influence of that spell. She supposed she’d find out soon. “Finite.’’ All unfrozen there, Ashley? |
Main Activity Time! While the class worked on their freezing skills, Neva set two boxes on her desk and enjoyed the sounds of productivity. One of the boxes contained sweatbands that were orange, the other box holding those that were purple. Checking her watch, she noted that they'd be needing them soon. Doing a quick lap around the room, the brunette noted that some of the younger years were having trouble getting the hang of the spell. "Keep at it," She encouraged. Confidence was key. As for those who'd managed to accomplish the spell, she nodded in approval. That would certainly give them an edge once it came time for the main event. Speaking of... "Alright everyone, time to wrap it up. If you've frozen a classmate, please end your spell. Then I need everyone to come up and choose a sweatband from one of the two boxes on my desk and put it on." While they worked on that, Neva pushed all the desks back against the walls with a flourish of her wand. They'd want a nice open area for this activity. "It's time for another friendly competition. As you have probably figured out by now, your sweatband represents your team. It'll be the orange team against the purple team in a good old fashioned round of freeze tag. Your team's goal is simple, freeze as many players on the opposite team as you can using Immobulus. When time is up, the team with the most unfrozen players are the winners. You are allowed to dodge a spell if you can manage. You're also allowed to unfreeze members of your own team if you come across them as you're running around, but be careful not to get too distracted and find yourself frozen in the process. Now I suggest you start moving. Let the casting commence!" Hi friends! Moving on to the main activity: Magical Freeze Tag! 1. You can either cast a spell at a member of the opposite team in your post, post your charrie reacting to a spell that targeted them, OR unfreeze a fellow player. 2. Please label your posts with the team you're on and the action you're taking. -Orange Team, Casting on _______ -Purple Team, Hit by (or dodging) Immobulus -Orange Team, Unfreezing ______ Class will wrap up on March 7th |
I suppose he's on Purple Team Quote:
It would real swell if she did that too since some kind of game just happened on the Professor's instructions. Can she count her practice spell as her freezing him!? He wouldn't mind if it did and they were on different teams because then he could just sit this out being frozen and stuff. So he wouldn't mind if she didn't unfreeze him now as well. Eh do whatever. |
orange team, casting at Moose Quote:
She went and grabbed an orange headband, then looked to see who was on the other team. Moose? Well, well, Will. Sorry, The Room-mate. All's fair in charms games. "Immobulus!" she aimed at her fellow second year, oblivious to the fact that he was apparently still frozen from the previous activity. |
Orange team + question Quote:
A small smile played on his face as he watched Ivy getting hit by the Charm. He watched for a moment, lost in his own thoughts before remembering that this was not a duel but a practice exercise. With another wave of his wand, Minjae quickly lifted the charm on the Ravenclaw and send her an apologetic look. "You okay?" ---- When the professor called to wrap things up, Minjae lowered his wand and turned his head to look at her. With a sigh, he walked over to the desk at the front and grabbed an orange headband. After the desks and chairs were magically being pushed aside he turned to the Professor as he put on his sweatband. "I'm allowed to use non-verbal, right Professor?" or was that unfair? But then again life wasn't fair so... |
Team Purple, taking Mamie's Immobulus SPOILER!!: Moose She was still keeping one eye closed, for the record....... But the curiosity was too much and she did end up peeking. "Did it work?" She waved her hand in front of him to check. Hm. Sure seemed like it worked. Which was really good news, actually! She usually had LOADS of trouble with spells, so this was fantastic. Probably the only good thing that had happened for weeks. She smiled the tiniest bit, before directing her wand at Moose once again and taking a big step forward. Just as she raised her wand to cast the finite on Moose, a spell hit her instead. Um. Oh no. She was stuck!!!!! How was she supposed to unfreeze Moose if they were BOTH frozen! |
Team Orange! SPOILER!!: before the next activity Heath! Before he knew it, the practice portion of class had ended and their Professor was moving them into the activity. Freeze tag? This sounded like fun. Noah was about to just jump into the game and start playing; however, he overheard Minjae’s question too.... Which made him curious to hear how the Professor would reply. Non-verbal spells would be a good advantage..... Noah eyed the options. Purple or orange. Purple.... was a favourite colour of his..... But orange... Orange was his little sister’s. He fished out an orange headband, selecting that before turning over to see which team Heath was joining. |
#TeamPurple Quote:
"Oh...um...sure...yes...please," he stammered and nodded his head lightly while adjusting his hold on his own wand. Atlas felt some sort of way about practicing spells on another person. "You...can go first..." An excuse for a demonstration and also he could procrastinate on actually making any attempts himself. When the professor called time and told them to break off into teams, it was a true no brainer for the Gryffindor. Purple was his favorite color! So on went a purple headband and then his attention was back on the older Slytherin girl. Did she want purple too or...orange? |
