[justify]“Ascendio and Descendo are the last polar opposite spells you will all learn this year. These spells are rather difficult to perform and will be the hardest ones you will learn all year. Ascendio, the rising charm is used to lift objects into the air, including the spell caster a feat that a Wingardium leviosa is unable to do. Descendo is used to bring objects down and is known as the descending spell, if used while performing Ascendio it will counter the spell and lower the object back to earth. These spells are to be confused with the more advance fly charm as you will be unable to move left or right when performing either spell. As always these spells require absolute focus to perform successful and if you let your mind waver even in the slightest these spells will fail. At this point you will all only be able to lift a few feet in the air but the more practice the higher some of you may be able to go though most cannot get above five feet until after you graduate.” James said to his silent class as he stood with his hands crossed behind his back. His eyes burned with excitement as he spoke to his class, all of whom were sitting on the edge of their seat. It was not every day that one learned a powerful or difficult set of spells.

Stepping forward he pulled out his wand as he cleared his throat and shook out the sleeves of his robes. With a smile he pointed his wand at the ground by his side in one fluid motion he swung his arm up, “Ascendio!” he said in a clear voice as he cast the spell on himself casing him to is a few feet into the air. A round of applause greeted him which he smiled about before whipping hand downward across his body, “Descendo!” was the next spell he cast which lowered him to ground safely. Once more he was showered in applause which caused him to bow graciously to his students. Once the clapping ceased James once more picked up his lesson where he left off. “While performing the spells on yourself is something you should strive for we will be practicing on several boxes around the room. With more practice you will be able to perform these spells on yourselves. But in order to do that it will take time and large amount of practice and study. So I want you all to practice on these boxes…” James said as he waved his wand causing several boxes to appear around the room. “I want you all to cast the spell several times each to get the hang of it. Once you have lifted the box and lowered it three time then you are free to go. Next lesson we will be having an end of the year party, those who are caught up with their class work can hang about and practice any spells that you have learned this year. For those who are not caught up you will have time to catch up before exams.” James said with a smile.

“With that said you may all begin practicing the spells. If you need help then I will be around to assist you in any way possible that I can. Please do not try these spells on yourself until you have practiced them successfully on the boxes.” James said as he motioned for the kids to set to work with their practicing. He surveyed the room and once he noted that they all had mastered the spell somewhat he helped a few cast the spell on their friends which was something he approved of for the lesson if they wanted to practice on a human versus an inanimate object. Soon the bell rang which signaled the end of the lesson which he was more than happy to dismiss his class. He went about putting the class back into place as he prepared his class for the next lesson. He smirked as the last student left the room, the end of the term was just around the bend. He would miss his students for the holiday but he knew that they would return for their four year which was a bit more exciting.
