Charms Class 2

Milo ran into the classroom, pulling on a heavy coat that hid the green rash that had finally reached his wrists. Luckily, his perfectly etched face had not been ruined- he would have found little reason to live had his face been marred. As he ran in, however, he reached out to clap his hands together and accidentally caught onto the leg of a flying student, which carried him into the air. He released as he neared the front of the classroom and he spun around.

"Man oh man, the book on spiffy entrances never wrote anything about that! I'm good!" he grinned, barely taking notice of his surroundings jumping into the assignment before more time could be wasted. "Inside your circle, you shall be observing what happens when a charm is cast. There is a list in the center of the circle. If you'll read, the charms listed are color changing charms, hover charms, cheering charms, and growth charms may be used. No curses can be used, and the only spells permitted are those on your paper. The circles have a magic that do not permit other kinds. This is not a duel, this is fun... Well... Get to it!"

Ellie watched as their Professor ran into the classroom, unimpressed by his entrance. She sat down in her circle and looked about at the other circles. About all of them had every member present, and when she looked back at her "group", she couldn't help but put her head in her hands. "Worst day every." She mumbled under her breath. "First a silly assignment, then the Professor walks in late, and my groups not here. Great!" She said the last word more audible.

As she sat, she read each charm that she was to practice. Looking back up she looked about the room half hearted that her group would arrive. Sighing she placed her book beside her and placed her chin in her hand. Looking about again she watched the other students, watching what they will do. But her thoughts were not on the groups, she was woundering what would happen to her.

'Whats going to happen now? Am i going to be noticed and then moved? Maybe im better alone, yeah im good being overlooked.' Ellies thoughts rang out in her head. She was fine being alone, but less likely that she would go unnoticed. She still wanted to try though, so she stayed quiet and avoided eye contact, sitting as still as she could, wishing it would work. Another part of her brain wanted her group to arrive, she didnt care if they were late, but they need to arrive. There was a smaller chance of problems in that.

Alex looked at the groups, and how a certain girl had changed some groups. Alex didn't really care what she did, as long as he wasn't involved. He looked at his group, Talon and Amelia. He remembered Amelia from the Knockturn alley escape, believe it or not, they made a good team. Then Talon, it sounded familiar, ah yes, it was the boy he had helped with the Patronus, but Alex wasn't a very good teacher. Alex didn't blame Talon, because if Alex had been able to learn it, and Cat too, he was sure Talon would be able to do it.

He looked back at the little boy, "Name's Alex Jones little man." Alex introduced himself then walked over to Talon. "Hey dude, I'm in your group." Alex said.

Amelia arrived late for class. She hadn’t been herself since they tried switching her medication. She hadn’t adjusted to the new medication to well. She kept stumbling around and walking into things not to mention passing out. She hoped she wouldn’t get in too much trouble for being late.

“Sorry I’m late,” apologized Amelia. She went into her group without another word. Her hair was pointed every which way and her eyes had dark circles under them. She was sure her eyes were glossy and red from not sleeping.

“Hey Alex,” she said with a smile. A forced smile but still a smile, it didn’t matter. She drew out her wand and rotated in her hand. It was becoming a habit.

[[OOC: I will be rather inactive, so I leave the prefects to sort of watch over the thread. Milo is distracted with the Green Itch and is rather inattentive to what is going on- practice your work and have fun!]]

Teddy was the only one in her group. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Now safely in her circle, and with no charred wings for proof, she looked around, spinning in a slow circle. Was she the only one without a partner- it was pretty bad being picked last, but to have it because of the fault of a teacher... Absolutely humiliating.

The fourteen year old bore it well. She straightened herself up and said, "Whatever." She began to leave the circle, when she bounced off the invisible barrier and landed on her bum. She jumped to her feet, glancing around to see if anyone had noticed. "You've got to be kidding me!" she complained.

Late to charms again, but since it was another D'Eath class Gian Lorenzo decided that was okay. He'd turned up, okay? And as soon as he turned up, was flipped into the air on swooping white wings before being placed in a magic circle with a little blonde tyke.

As his wings disintegrated, Gian Lorenzo twirled around and round, gaining his bearings once more.

"Aw, HELL no!" he exclaimed

The boy fell to his knees and began to poke at the circle they were trapped in. Predictably, it stayed completely intact as well as his hand bouncing away from the barrier hard enough to pull the rest of his body along with it so that Gian Lorenzo ended up laying face upwards at his partner's feet.

"Oh, hello there," he greeted the girl as though he'd only just noticed her.

Being imursed in her reading, she did occationally look about at the other groups. Secretly she wished she wasnt alone. She had no idea who any of her partners looked like, but all the same she was half hopeful that the either would make it or not. It didnt bother her being alone anymore since she noticed their professor was busy with other personal business.

But when she heard feet tapping against the ground, she looked up and saw a boy standing in the same circle as she. 'Oh why, oh why did someone have to come!' Her thoughts bubbled with humiliation. She decided that should have wished that no one would have come, now that one of her partners was standing hardly feet away.

Listening to the boy exclaim, Ellie tried her best at hunckering down behind her book, but she realized that the book wouldnt be any help, she would still be noticed. Giving up on that plan she watched the boy poke at the barrier and sprawl right in front of her.

Wanting herself to sprawl in a different direction, she felt shocked that he was close to bouncing right into her. Though he acted as if that didnt happen and that she had just arrived in the circle. A little miffed, though trying not to show it Ellie said as calmly as she could, "And a hello to you, too. My name's Ellie. You must be one of my partners?"

"I didn't hit my head that hard, Burgess," he replied. "I haven't got amnesia, unfortunately."

Ravenclaws were brilliant in a bookish kind of way, but Gian Lorenzo valued a more practical kind of genius. Ellie hadn't squealed or really reacted at all to his sudden arrival, which made Gian Lorenzo wonder if she even realised that he could see straight up her skirt from this vantage.

Not that he needed, let alone wanted to look up Ellie Burgess' skirt. Gian Lorenzo knew what knickers looked like. Besides, he was too much the gentleman to go about looking up ladies' skirts without the lady asking him to do it first. It was just that Burgess kinda had this habit of coming off as thinking she was superior to everyone and Gian Lorenzo really couldn't stand people like that.

"Must I?" he arched his back and stretched, but made no move to get off the floor. "And who else must I be partnered with?"

Aidan looked at Aden and Fionn. They hadn't said anything to him so far. Aidan saw the list of spells in the circle. He remembered Milo saying no other charms could be used. Looking at the list, Aidan thought cheering charms might be a good place to start. After all, he remembered Fionn hadn't really taken a liking to him on the train on the way up, maybe if he used a cheering charm he might not think that anymore. Aidan could hope, at least.

Aidan started trying to achieve a cheering charm. He never expected anything to be correct first time, he was used to practising until perfect. His target was Fionn as opposed to Aden, in hope that Fionn wouldn't be so...well, that Fionn might be a bit nicer than the previous time they had met. Aidan didn't care much for Fionn, but if they were to see a lot of each other he'd rather not completely dislike the boy. Aidan seemed to be getting the hang of the charms though. He looked down at Fionn, wondering if it had worked.

[[OOC: Fionn, dodge if you want. Or not. Up to you. But if you don't, Aidan's charms will work & make you all cheery etc..]]
