Katy walked into her classroom, hoping this class would be advanced enough for her students. They musn't think her incompetent, because she wasn't. On the whiteboard behind her desk, she wrote:
Good afternoon, and Welcome to Advanced Charms. I would like to get to know you all better, so please write the following on a slip of parchment and hand it in to me:
-Name
-House
-Year
-Why you want to take this class
-Which Charm you most look forward to*
*You should have read your textbooks and know some of the basic advanced spells by name if nothing else, therefore I will not accept a blank for this answer. (ooc: this means make one up, I need ideas anyway)
All grading will be administered in this fashion, with my special green grading quill. Any non-passing marks, using OWL standard grading, may be retried for a higher mark if you, the student, find it necessary.
When you have completed this task, choose a partner. This person will be your Charms partner for the whole term, so make sure you can work together. Your first assignment is the Bookbinding Charm. The incantation is "Binderius Arcus". Practice the charm on the bookshelves in the back of the room, most of the books are in need of repair. When you feel you and your partner have both mastered the spell, come see me at my desk.

Celina walked into class,early for once, and happy about it.With a smile on her face,she sat in a desk somewhat in the middle of the room, close enough to pay atrtention, back enough to talk when bored. She looked up at the writing on the whiteboard,thinking for a few minutes on how to word her answers. When she was satisfied she took out a peive of parchment and a quill and began to write:
'Celina Walters
Gryffindor
Yr.6
I want to take this class because not only is it practical, it is fun. In charms class you learn anything from how to bind books (practical) to how to make a pineapple tap dance across a desk(fun). Also, charms has the most diversity of all the classes. In what other class can you learn to change the color of body parts AND how to unlock doors?
I am definitely most looking forward to the Disillusionment charm. I think it would be spectacular to be able to blend in with your surrondings like a chameleon. Also, I think it would be a hard charm to master and it will also give me a feeling of accomplishment when I do learn it.'
Celina smiled at how nicely the answers looked on paper,and handed the piece of parchment to her teacher. She looked around,and not seeing anyone,she sat back at her desk, waiting for some one to come in.
O - Full credit. Very nice. You're right, it is a hard spell, but an extremely useful one.

Ashley walked into Adv. Charms class and took a seat. She listened to what the Professor said and started on the assignment.
Ashley McWaters
Slytherin
7th
I want to be in this class because I would like to advance my knowledge on Charms and learn anything it is you can teach me.
There isn't really one in particular charm I would like to learn about. I'm here because I'm excited to learn about any charm.
E - Nice to hear you're excited, and I won't take points off for this, but I'd like you to maybe look up some Charms you'd like to learn, even if you don't have a favorite. I don't want to start teaching something nobody wants to know about, now do I?
Ashley finished the first part of the assignment and looked around for a partner to finish the assignment with.

Katy graded the first papers to her desk, then watched as some of the students began trying the spell she had written on the board. Soon, two girls approached the desk. Katy had been watching them, they were very good at this. Apparently they were sisters, although in different houses. "Yes, are you finished? Very nice. You've done a good job. Now, if you would, I'd like for you two to drop by my office whenever it's convenient, I have a little job for you. Unless you'd like me to explain the details now?"

Kevin walked into class and took a look at the assignment. He was a little late, but once again, he was lost. As he pulled out a sheet of parchment, he wrote it all down.
Kevin Phoenis

I want to take this class because my two favorite subjects are Charms and Transfiguration, but my future career does involve a lot of Charms as well.
The one Charm I have been admiring is the Patronus Charm. I have always been fascinated by it and I hope to cover it if possible. Another Charm I would like to learn are the Charms to conjure up what one needs. And realistically, I'm fascinated by all Charms.
E - Quite nice. I think you will go far.

Post by Dovesary Aemeson on Nov 28, 2005 18:32:34 GMT -5
Dove walked into the classroom, treading quietly to avoid disturbing anyone from their tasks. "Sorry," she told Professor Salmalin, "I got held up in the hallway; some first-year kept following me, asking if it was true I helped an Azkaban prisoner escape. As if!" Dove turned on her heel, and marched to her desk, anger flaring up insider her at that kd's nerve. How could he says eh had helped Joanie Deadman escape? She had broken her arm trying to stop her, for cryin out loud! Dove glanced up at the board, and read what she had to do. On a slip of parchment, she wrote, in neat, careful handwriting:
Name: Dovesary M. Aemeson
Year: 6th
House: Ravenclaw
Why I want to take the class: Well, I am a neat and organized girl, with a knack for small magic. I'm not that great at big things, but I love working with household-y spells, or little knick knacks for odd moments. I asked another professor which classes she thought I would like, and she told me to try for Charms. So I did, and here I am.
Which Charm I look forward to most: I want to learn the Patronus Charm, and the Fidelius Charm. both are said to be extremely difficult, but I think both spells are worth it.
O - Well done, very well done. Yes, the Fidelius and Patronus Charms are very difficult, but you seem to have a grasp on your determination to learn them. Show this much passion for all your subjects, and I think we'd have another Hermione Granger on the loose!
Dove put down her quill, satisfied with her answers. She walked to the professor's desk and handed it to her, then turned to look for a partner. She froze. She didn't recognize anyone, much less someone she could get along with! Dove wasn't sure what to do, so she just made her way back to her seat, waiting for someone to maybe come and introduce themselves or something. Then she leaped up again. She ran to the professor's desk, panicking, and said quickly, "Professor, I'm so sorry, I can't do today's lesson! You may have heard that there was an escape from Azkaban, a prisoner by the name of Joanie Deadman? Well I was there, handing out newspapers so the prisoners wouldn't be bored, and she stole my wand! That's how she got away, and she still has it, so I can't do any magic! How am I supposed to try the charm if I can't do magic?!"

Katy looked at Aireona and Arila with a sparkle in her eyes. "I'd like for you two to help me out in my below fifth-year class. Some of them are having a bit of a challenge, and I think they just need some mentoring from some older students. Would you mind dropping in, say, around eleven o' clock? That's when I have my third and fourth years, and I think they're the ones in need of the most help. If this collides with your class schedule, we could organize evening tutoring, or I could ask your other professors if they would allow you to help me and make up the time in another fashion. That is, of course, if you'd like to do it. You don't have to, I jus think it would be a wonderful opportunity for my younger students and yourselves, as teaching can be a joy and a lesson all in one. So, are you up to it?"
The moment Katy finished speaking, one of the sixth-year students rushed up to her desk. "Professor, I'm so sorry, I can't do today's lesson! You may have heard that there was an escape from Azkaban, a prisoner by the name of Joanie Deadman? Well I was there, handing out newspapers so the prisoners wouldn't be bored, and she stole my wand! That's how she got away, and she still has it, so I can't do any magic! How am I supposed to try the charm if I can't do magic?!" the girl said, obviously in a bit of a panic. "That's quite alright dear, it's fine. Losing your wand wasn't your fault," Katy told the student (Dovesary?). "You may use mine during class, I hardly need it. The results won't be as good, I understand, but it's best you get the feel of the spell anyway. I'll excuse you from practice homework, as long as you work with the spells to learn them when you get your wand back, or purchase a new one. Is that alright, dear?"

Dove turned to look at Kevin. "Are you sure?" she asked him. "I thought Sarah was coming. Don't you usually partner with her?" Dove bit her lip, and went on, hurriedly. "But I mean yeah sure if you want to, I just kinda got used to you and Sarah doing almost everything together." Noticing how bitchy that sounded, Dove smacked a hand to her forehead. "that was stupid. I didn't mean that, it came out totally wrong." How she would love to just disappear and hide in her dormitory!

*Rachel walked into the class, a few minutes before the bell rang. She looked around the front of the classroom, hoping to find a seat close to the front. She found one quickly. She took a seat, and read the whiteboard. Then, she took out a piece of parchment, her yellow quill, and her purple ink. She scribbled down some stuff on her parchment.*
Rachel Duly
Hufflepuff
6th year
I would like to take Advanced Charms because I think that charms are extremely important. You will use charms your entire life, whether basic household uses, or for your job, or even to help save your life.
I am looking forward to learning many different charms, some of which are:
~Aguamenti. There are too many times I wish I could just "conjor (sp) up" some water.
~Patronus. I have heard about how advanced the Patronus is, but I think that this is a very interesting charm because of the personal factor. I am interested to find out what my Patronus will be.
~Accio. Although this spell is more on the easy side, it is very useful.
~Ridikulus. Ridikulus is one of my favorite charms. Although this is on the easy side, this spell is very good, because Boggarts can show up just about everywhere.
*Rachel read and re-read her parchment, wanting to make sure it was perfect. She wanted to make a good impression. Once she was sure it was ok to turn in, she took the parchment to Professor Salmalin. Then, she looked around to see if she could find anyone to be her partner.*
O - Extremely well done, I will enjoy having you in my class.

Celina smiled and brought her stuff to the now unnoccupied desk next to Ashley's. "I think we should get started then?" She asked, then before getting a reply decided to try out the charm on a book. "Binderus Arcus!" She said a bit over-enthusiasticly,ending up wit hthe book splitting in two. "oops...lets try again. Binderus Arcus." She said more calmly,with more concentration. The book immediatly repaired itself."Phew!" She said, glad it worked. " Want to try now?" She asked Ashley.

Ashley watched Celina attempt the charm and then get it right the second time.
When Celina asked Ashley if she wanted to try, she took her wand out and said, very calmly, "Binderus Arcus." The book then repaired itself. She did this to a few more books, just to make sure she had the spell down.
Ashley set her wand down and looked at Celina. "Now what?"

Kevin had a laugh. "Don't worry about it, Dove. Yeah we usually do, and we will still when she gets here, but that doesn't mean that I can't partner with you, since you are one of close friends, nor does it mean that when she does get here, I will send you away, I don't think the professor will have a problem with trios, considering a certain history of it." He said, smiling.
"Well, shall we?"

Post by Dovesary Aemeson on Nov 30, 2005 21:26:19 GMT -5
"Okay, I guess. I hope the professor won't mind a trio. I don't think she'll mind, I've heard she's very nice. Anyway, yes, we shall." Dove turned to the bookshelves behind her. She picked up the professor's wand she had lent her, and pointed it at a damaged book about popular charms of the 1800's/ "Binderius Arcus!" The book repaired itself halfway along the spine, but halted halfway through. "Binderius Arcus!" Dove tried again, more insistently. The book shuddered, and repaired itself the rest of the way. Dove looked back at Kevin. "Alright, your turn."
(No, I don't mind trios, that is fine as long as you can keep up with everything and get your work done!)

Amora yawned and sat down. She was a bit late.. and she said sorry before she sat down. She hadn't known she would be in Advanced Charms until a short while ago. She checked the assignment, and began.. she decorated the top of her paper with stars and things that said, 'I love him' but not too large, so she would not get into trouble.
-Name: ♥ Amora Preston
-House: Slytherin
-Year: 6th Year
-Why you want to take this class: I want to take this class because.. (she thought a second.) because Charms has always been of interest.. and one of my favorite Subjects. Charms will be very helpful for me in my years to come.
-Which Charm you most look forward to- Wow, thats a very difficult question. Well, I suppose it would be the Lingarneidium Charm. I know you probably know what this is.. but I'll explain myself anyway. It is not only a levitation charm for humans, and items.. But it is also a invisiblity charm. This Charm is extremely difficult to learn.. and thats one of the reasons I'd like to learn it.
O - Extremely well done, I do hope I will enjoy having you in my class!
