[Justify]Today marked the last actual lesson of the year for his second year students. As was common for the school most professor taught five weeks of lessons with the sixth week used to study and a week or so for the students to prepare for the final exam. The semester was almost at a close and for the students hard work James had decided to teach the kids a special spell that most should find fascinating. The weeks prior had been spent teaching the schools approved curriculum and the required educational guidelines set down by the ministry, whereas this week he decided to venture off the beaten path and teach the students the blue bell flame. The fire created by this charm did not burn to the touch like most fire and could be stored in containers for a short period of times such as jars or bottles. So with a wave of his wand he opened a nearby chest filled with old canning jars that he had found at a muggle antique mart this past weekend. With several slow and waves of his wand the jars flew about and landed on the desk around the room. With a smile he hummed a little song as he went about his work and soon every desk in the class had a jar on top, James flicked his wand at the classroom door causing it to open slowly.

The students slowly entered the classroom as the chatter of the day’s lesson was on everyone’s mind. With a smile and a wave of his hand he greeted his students who all quickly sat down as some inspected their jars with mild interest. Once everyone had sat down and quieted a bit he cleared his throat as he leaned against his desk. “Welcome students to your last official lesson of charms this year. You have all done extraordinarily well this term and as a treat for your hard work I shall show you a fun and unique charm. Known as the Blue Bell Flame charm, Innocens Inflamarae, creates a blue flame that provides warmth and light while not burning the practitioner or target for that matter. The spell could have been the spell referred to in the muggle bible as the one that caused the burning bush but that is merely speculation and no hard evidence has ever been found. The most interesting part of the blue bell flame is that it does not need oxygen to burn and can be stored in containers hence the jars on your desk. You will all be casting the charm and storing the fire in your jars. There is a time limit of about an hour before the charm wears off.” James said as he picked up his own jar and pulled out his wand to demonstrate.

The incantation is an easy one so once you have practice a few times to yourselves, you are to use the swish and flick method while saying the spell in a clear voice. Innocens Inflamarae!” James said as he swished his wand and flicked it at the jar causing at first a small spark but after a moment a small blue flame that hung in the air. Pointing his wand at the flame he guided the fire into his jar where he filled the small container with the fire before screwing on the cap. The jar was warm to the touch and glowed with the brilliance of several small candles which garnered a gasp and ohs’ as James placed the jar on his desk for all to see. “I would like all of you to try and fill your jar with a blue bell flame by the end of the class. You may keep the jars to practice with as a souvenir. Next class we will be having a small party, those of you who have homework or assignments can use the time to get caught up, while the rest of you may hang out or practice any of the spells learned this semester in charms. I will provide all the necessary equipment for you next class. With that you may spend the rest of the class trying to produce the blue bell charm. I will be around to help any of you who need it.” James said as he walked about the class and helped the students out until the end of the class where he dismissed them for the day.

Rhiannon loved Charms class. it was always fun making things happen. after a hearty breakfast hearty due to the fact she had received a letter from her family. smiling to herself she made her way to the charms classroom. Sitting in her usual seat she took out her wand and notebook ready for watever the class had in plan. She hoped it was a charm as she had looked through the list and there was still one that they hadn't covered. well at least ot in class. she had loked it up and had some practice in her own time. She took notes as professor Killian spoke, she had not realised that the flames could be stored in a jar. or realised that as the target wsnt burned it could be moses' tree.
She watched as the professor Created the flames and then goaded them into the jar. it was really cool, much cooler than using a torch to read with at night. and as an added benifit it was warm which was nice. then it was their turn to practivce. since tey had been given the charm list in the frst week she had had pleanty of time to practice before and got it so she could get the flames to appear almost every time. unfortunatly the pressure of being in class got to her slightly and it was the third attempt that blue sparks appeared, and it took until the fifth before she had a proper fire. now it was time to try the unpracticed. centtly sh tried to guide it into the jar. it started to move but them promptly went out before it was comfortable inside she then cast the spell again and this time managed to get it into the jar though it was only a little bit of the fire.
Hr third attempt at goading was more sucessfull, as she managed to cast te flames dirst time aut she also managed to get it into the jar and full. she wished it was darker in the roo so she could seee how well it glowed, in the end she had to resaut she ended up holding it beside the table. It was then that time was called. she put ther things away and then went up to the professor "thank you for class today. and thank you for the jar. I think the flames would be good to read by, and it was a fun class she said thinking of how over a hundred years ago mst lamsps were gas not electric. before heading off to the garden to read and hopefully find realy shady spot.
