Post by Katy J. Salmalin on Nov 23, 2005 22:52:08 GMT -5
Katy walked into her classroom five minutes before her students did. She waved her wand, and a whiteboard appeared behind her. She flicked her wand again, and these words appeared on it:
Good afternoon, and welcome to Charms. Please make sure you have all materials required for this class. The first thign you should do is to write the following on a slip of parchment and hand it in to me:
Name
House
Year
Which Charm you most look forward to*
Why you want to take this class**
When you're done, bring me your parchment, and pair up. You will first practice the Alphabetizing Charm. The incantation is "Alpharego". Practice it on the many bookshelves in the back of the room, they are hopelessly unorganized. When you think you and your partner have both mastered the charm, come see me at my desk.
* I will not accept blanks for this answer. You should have read through your books before you came to my class, and should know a basic list of what you hope to learn. (ooc: this means make one up, i need some ideas anyway)
**I will not accept the answer "I'm taking this class because it's mandatory or because i have to". That is unprofessional, and unacceptable. (ooc: make this up too if you have to, just give me an answer)
All grades will be administered in this style, with my special green grading pen. Any non-passing marks, using OWL standard grading, may be retried for a higher mark if you, the student, feel it extremely necessary.

Amber walked into class and sat down. She looked at the assignment on the board and took out a parchment and quill. She began to write.
Name: Amber Brown
House: Gryffindor
Year: First Year
Which Charm do you look most forward to: I hope to learn about the levitating charm
Why do you want to take this class: I want to take this class because it does seem pretty interesting and it looks like fun!
When she was done with the assignment, she brung it up to the front desk and placed it there. " Here you go, Professor ". Then, she went looking for a partner.
O- Very nice. I think the Levitation Charm is next lesson, believe it or not, and you get full credit for your answers.
-Katy

very shortly after professor salmalin arrived a young gryffindor girl with large blue-gray eyes entered the classroom and found a seat near the front. her face was full of anticipation as she got out her quill, ink and scroll of parchment.
after reading the message on the board, she began writing immediatley.
'name: olivia williams
house: gryffindor
year: third
which charm i am most looking forward to: any and all of them! levitation, silencing, color-change, cheering, bubble-head, scouring, protean (although that is N.E.W.T. standard...) anything you want to teach me i will look forward to learning.
why i want to take this class: i am from a muggle family so everything about hogwarts is fascinating to me. ever since i heard about hogwarts, charms has appealed to me.'
olivia then took her paper to professor salmalin and returned to her seat. glancing around she noticed another girl that seemed to be looking for a partner and went to approach her.
"er, hullo." olivia said somewhat nervously. "i'm olivia. you're in gryffindor, arent you? i think i might have seen you in the commonroom once or twice. would you care to be my partner?" olivia stood waiting for a response. her cheeks began to take on a slightly pink hue as she stood there.
O+ - Exceptional. Nice to see that you did your research on the different Charms. Full Credit.

Daphne walked into the Charms class and took her seat at the back. She read the words that appeared on the whiteboard carefully and then took out a piece of parchment and her quill. She wrote down the assignment and her answers neatly.
Name: Daphne Lilac Granger
House:Gryffindor
Year:Fourth Year
Which Charm you most look forward to* I hope to learn more about the Truthful charm
Why you want to take this class** I want to take this class because it is interesting and I want to learn more about Charms.
After rerereading her answers she walked up to Professor Salmalin and handed her the answers she wrote. She then walked back to her seat slowly and glanced around her to find a person she knows to be her partner.
E - Well done. Very well done. You seem to be a devoted student, and I'm sure I will be proud of you.

Jacklyn sighed and walked into the Charms classsroom. She looked around and sat on a vacant seat. Feeling quite bored, she listened to the proffesor's instructions and took out a piece of parchment.
Name: Jacklyn Elizabeth Potter
House: Gryffindor
Year: Fourth Year
Which Charm you most look forward to: Anything and everything really. Most probably charms to change people's mood
Why you want to take this class: I took this class because I find Charms a very interesting subject and would love to learn more about it.
She smiled and brought it up to the proffesor. She then went and looked for a partner. Seeing Daphne, she smiled and walked over to her. "Hey, wanna be partners?"
O - Very nice. You've done a good job.

Amber saw Olivia walking up to her. When she asked to be her partner, Amber replied with a yes. " Yeah, I think I saw you in the common room too. Amber's the name ". She smiled. " Nice to meet you, Olivia. I wonder what charm we're going to do today ".

Jacklyn grinned happily and said, "Brilliant then! Have you any idea what charm we are going to do today?" She looked around and saw that her fellow Gryffindors, Amber and Olivia are going to be partners.

Name: Melody Valentine
House: Gryffindor
Year: 4th year
Which Charm you most look forward to*: Maybe the Hover Charm which makes an object float in the air.
Why you want to take this class**: I suppose this class is interesting and I can learn lots of stuff.
A - Not bad, but I think you can be a bit more specific about why you want to take the class. Of course you can learn, that's why I'm teaching. What makes it interesting?
Rereading her work again she handed her work to the professor. Now, I have to find a partner

olivia's eyes took on a bluer sheen as she smiled.
"excellent," she said to amber's exceptance. "if i heard professor salmalin correctly we're to practice the alphetizing charm on her bookshelves. i suppose this would be a good charm for organization- its probably used to great effect by mr. xavier. shall we?" she said, indicating the bookshelves at the rear of the class.

Daphne laughed and saidto Jacklyn, "I have no idea but I'm sure it'll be interesting." She glanced around and saw Melody rush into class. I suppose she thinks she's late thought Daphne.

" Yeah, you're right. Probably is a useful charm and yes, we shall! ". she smiled a little jokingly and went toward the bookshelves with her partner. She looked at the bookshelf.
It was very messy. Some books were piled on top of each other. There were some gaps where some books were suppose to be, and it was kind of dusty. " Well, this bookshelf looks like it needs a lot of organizing! ".

Overhearing Olivia's and Amber's conversation, Jacklyn realized they were going to do the Alphabetizing Charm. Ahh...that charm. To organize the bookshelves..hmm...interesting.. she thought.
"Like Olivia said, we are going to do the Alphabetizing charm," she said with a smile to Daphne. She walked towards the bookshelves in the back of the room, gesturing for Daphne to follow her. "So, would you like to start first?" she asked, grimacing as she looked at the books on the bookshelves, stacked messily.

"Alphabetizing charm?" asked Daphne. She saw Jacklyn gesturing for her to follow to the back of the room so she did. She looked at all the books stacked messily on the bookshelves. Then, she heard Jacklyn ask if she would like to start first. She replied saying, "I can start but I don't really know how this goes. Do we have to organize them back by saying the Alphabetizing charm?"

looking at the bookshelf olivia thought that they definitely had their work cut out.
"erm, well i'll go first then, i suppose..." she said.
planting herself squarly in front of a particularly messy spot, she stared at the work she was about to attempt to put right. there were books that were lying on top of each other with their pages nearly being ripped from their spine. "this is terrible." she mumbled to herself.
for a moment she stared intently at the spot she was standing in front of, concentrating on her task. she let out a deep sigh and raised her wand shoulder height. in a clear and somwhat loud voice she said, "alpharego."
the effect was instant. the section that olivia stood before began to clear away. the books closed themselves neatly and fit themselves in their correct spots along the shelves. a few books that were in the wrong places were moved to one side as those that she had charmed took their rightful places.
turning to her partner, olivia looked a bit shocked and very pleased. "goodness," she said, small pink spots appearing on her cheeks. "that went well."

" Wow, that was very well done! ", exclaimed Amber. She clapped for her partner and looked at the shelf that Olivia did. " Yes, very well done " She saw that her cheeks began to turn into a light pink. " Why are you blushing? ".
She went up next to do the next bookshelf. She picked the third shelf. It had papers in books and books open. Books were piled on top of one another and it was very dusty. " Ok, you could do this ", she thought.
She flicked her wand and said, " alpharego! ", in a pretty strong voice. The shelf kind of straightened itself out. The books were all put back in order, but there were still some papers there, some falling out. One fell on to the floor, right in front of Olivia and Amber. The first year looked at the paper curiously and picked it up. She looked at it for a brief minute and saw that it was some kind of......note. " Olivia ", she said in almost a whisper. " Look at this! ". But then again, she decided now wasn't a good time to share it, so she hid it in her pocket.
The first year looked at the bookshelf and again said the charm. The papers were finally neatly stacked. " There ".

Jacklyn smiled at Daphne and said, "I would definitely think so." Hearing someone asking her if they could be partners, Jacklyn immediately turned around to find Magyn. "Oh, I'm sorry Magyn. I already have a partner. Why don't you ask Melody over there. I don't think she has a partner yet," the girl said with an appologic smile.

Post by Dew Elisara on Nov 29, 2005 18:13:04 GMT -5
Dew entered the classroom as quietly as possible. She did not want to attract any unnecessary attention. She took out some parchment and began the assignment.
Name: Dew Elisara
House: Hufflepuff
Year: 2nd, but I'm 15
Which Charm you most look forward to*: The levatating charm
Why you want to take this class**: Charms are very useful. They can make life much easier.
A - Yes they are useful, but why do they interest YOU in particular? [/i]
She handed her parchment to the professor and looked for a partner. A Gryffindor first year still didn't have a partner. She was nervous about working with a student who was so much younger than she was, but their skill level would likely be the same. I think her name is Hazel. She walked up to the girl.
"Hi, I'm Dew. Would you like to be my partner?"

olivia looked around the room trying not to look too pleased with herself after amber's compliment. she watched as her partner tried the charm on a shelf with nearly overflowing papers. the piles of books cleared themselves away quite easily from amber's charm, though the papers remained. a few fell to the ground as olivia turned to view the progress of the other pairs.
"hmm?" olivia turned to look at amber. she thought sheheard her say something, but amber was merely trying the charm again. as the papers stacked neatly to the side of the books, olivia beamed.
"oh, well done amber! very nice getting them to stack and all. i suppose we've got it down pretty well now. lets go see what professor salmalin wants us to do now."

" Yeah, let's. Yup, we got it pretty down packed ". She smiled and followed Olivia to the Professor's desk. The first year was twirling her wand in her hand a little. " Hello, Professor ", she replied. " We're done.......what do you want us to do next? ".

After hearing what Jacklyn said to her, Daphne picked a shelf which had many books stacked all over the place unorganized and dusty. I hate dust! thought Daphne.
She proceeded to take out her wand from her robes and said, "Alpharego." in a very loud and clear voice. Instantly, all the books organized themselves thoroughly and neatly. Daphne smiled and said, "I did it right didn't I?"

Anyway, yes, you girls loook al set on that one. You can practice the charm this evening if you want to, but you don't have to. Alright, I'm satisfied. You may go on to wherever you go next."
