Post by Narcissa Malfoy on Dec 8, 2005 13:51:17 GMT -5
Narcissa was at her usual place in front of the classroom. It was her fifth lesson.
"Hello class! I trust you had a good time this week. Today's lesson will be the last one for this year. Do not worry, we will continue our precious lessons after the new year.
I saw that you did not like very much the lessons that did not involve practice. Well, I do not like them very much myself, however they are necessary I'm afraid.
As the last lesson of this year, I chose a practical lesson. I am sure you will enjoy it. We will be learning the "Petrificus totalus" hex. It is very useful to use against humans, animals, objects, everything.
I comes from the latin root "petra" meaning "rock" and "totalus" meaning "whole". It causes the "victim" to become rigid and unable to move aside from the eyes for 2-3 seconds up to one hour, it depends on the power of the caster.
I do not expect your hex to last for more than 3-4 minutes and that is a great begining.
It is indeed very simple to perform the "Pertificus totalus", you need to point you wand to the adversary, move it up and down only once and say the macig words.
Since I did not divide you into pairs, (remember the last fiasco) I decided that you should choose your partners by yourself." she said smiling.
"You can start now, and remember to call me if you have any problems.
Ah I almost forgot, as homework you will have to make an essay telling me when did you use the hex that you learned today. Do not groan please, you will have 2 weeks of holidays and no homework. You can rest then."
OOC Please do not make your character succeed at the first try, it is not realistic.[/size][/font]

Amber arrived in class. She listened to the Professor. " Sounds pretty useful. Hmm....I wonder who to work with ". She looked around the classroom for a suitable partner. She saw the Slytherin girl, Blaze. She's in her Transfiguration class. " Should I even ask... ". She shrugged and decided to ask the Slytherin.
" Hey.....want to be partners? ".

Stephine walked into the class and sat down and listened to Professor Malfoys speech about that days lesson. She had a great idea for the homework because she had used this hex before. She then looked around and bit her lip everyone so far looked paired she then sat there till someone came to the lesson.

Jacklyn walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and immediately sat down at the far back. She listened intently to Proffesor Malfoy's instructions and jotted down important notes about the Petrificus Totalus hex. Hearing that they were to be partnered up, Jacklyn groaned and stood up, looking for a partner. She noticed that a Ravenclaw was partnerless and decided to be partners with her.
"Hey, I'm Jacklyn. Wanna be partners?" she asked the girl.

Stephine then saw a gryffindor girl there she has asked to be her partner. She then smiled "yeah that would be great."
Stephine then saw Drake and smiled at him "Oh nothing you just have to find a partner for the spell we are doing which is Petrificus totalus"
"Oh Jacklyn i'm Stephine, are you ready?" She then asked.

Jacklyn smiled at Stephine and nodded her head. "Great to meet you Stephine," she said with a grin, "Oh, I'm ready. Let's start."
Jacklyn then withdrew her wand and smiled at Stephine. "Do you want to go first?" she asked.

Stephine also withdrew her wand then shook her head "No you can go first." She said with a smile.

Jacklyn nodded her head and aimmed her wand at Stephine. She moved her wand up and down and exclaimed, "Petrificus Totalus!" However, the spell hit Stephine but it did not work. Jacklyn cursed silently and smiled sheepishly. "Did I hurt you?" she asked, concerned.

As the hex hit Stephine she felt nothing except a tiny tingly feeling. "No you didn't hurt me i'm fine" Stephine said with a smile
"Shall i go now?" She asked Jacklyn

Stephine smiled back then readyed her wand. "Petrificus Totalus!" She said. But sadly it didn't work on her first try, Stephine then stomped her foot. "Well did i hurt you?" Stephine then asked.

Jacklyn felt a tingy feeling up her spine but other than that, she was fine. "Nope. Don't worry. You didn't," she said with a smile.
"So, I'll try again then?" she then asked.

Post by Blaze Oceana on Dec 12, 2005 9:57:36 GMT -5
Blaze heard the small voice of a young student asking her if she wanted to be partners. She turned her head slightly and rested her eyes on the small Gryffindor girl and scowled. She spotted Magyn come into the classroom and was about to push the small girl out of the way to get to the slytherin, when she saw Lizabeth rush in after her and grab Magyn as her partner. She gave an annoyed sigh
"Yes fine" she said sharply to the Gryffindor girl "Do you want to go first or shall I?"

"Yup" Stephine she then pocketed her wand and waited for Jacklyn to hit her with the hex.

" Erm....you can go first if you want ". She took a few steps back with her wand in hand and waited for Blaze to do the spell. She noticed that Blaze replied sharply when she asked and she noticed the scowl on her face. Oh well guess all Slytherins just want to hang with their on kind or something.

Jacklyn drew in a shaky breath and withdrew her wand once again.
"Petrificus Totalus!" she exclaimed clearly.
The spell hit Stephine and she noticed that Stephine was still for a moment before she was able to move again. Darn..
She sighed and said, "You're turn."

Walking to class, Melody wondered to stay at Hogwarts and other than that she doesn't know where to go. She walked into class and sat at the middle row. Hearing what the professor said, she tried to find a partner. They all have partners already..

Narcissa was watching the class amused.
"Well done Miss Potter! Five points to Gryffindor for being the first to make the spell."she said to the girl.
OOC Very good indeed Jacklyn, you made it very believable. Very good Stephine too! Do not worry Melody, someone will show up soon.

Cirlce walked into the class and listened as Professor Malfoy explained what they would be doing this class. When Cirlce heard that they were to be working with partners Cirlce groaned silently and then looked around to see the few people that she knew already paired with others. Spotting a Gryffindor who didn't have a partner Cirlce walked up to her.
"Hello, I'm Cirlce," she said. "You want to be partners?"

"Sure, I would love to, I am Melody,"she smiled.

"Hello Melody," Cirlce said pulling out her wand. "Would you like to go first?"

Post by Melody Valentine on Dec 13, 2005 7:00:00 GMT -5
(Ooc:Wow, you haven't gone to bed?))
"Um, sure," Melody said feeling happy to have partner and nervous doing the hex. "Petrificus totalus"she said outloud. The spell unfortunately didn't work. "Are you hurt or something?"

(OOC: i'm a bit of a night owl, i'll probably go after my Bio final)
"No, I'm fine," Cirlce said. "Felt a bit weird though, but it didn't hurt."
Pointing her wand at Melody and moving it up and down once, Cirlce said the incantation, "Pertificus totalus." When nothing happened Cirlce sighed.
"How about you?" Cirlce said. "You aren't hurt are you? Your turn too."

As the spell hit Stephine she felt still for a moment but then it wore off after a few moments. "Good try" She sad smiling. Stephine then took out her wand and took a breath.
"Petrificus Totalus!!" Stephine said she watched as Jacklyn was still for a moment but then tell spell wore off "aww drats" she said stamping her foot again "Your turn."

Kelsey looked around the room. Most everyone had partners and she didn't. Kelsey looked around hopefully to see if someone needed a partner. ((Anyone?))
